À propos de l’œuvre
Paire de chaussures, A, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Early 1887 · Paris
A pair of ankle boots, F333Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
Two worn work ankle boots rest on a blue-gray fabric; one is turned over, sole highlighted, while the rigid laces wind towards the edge of the canvas.
Look at the work
A still life made of wear and material
The inverted shoe reveals its green and brown sole, placed almost in the center. The other ankle boot opens to the left, its wrinkled upper forming a dark mass.
The leathers are painted brown, black, green and blue. The background fabric receives visible touches that give an active surface to this very simple arrangement.
This oil on canvas measuring 32.7 × 41.3 cm was painted in Paris in 1887. It is F333/JH1236 and bears the number 1950.302 in the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Van Gogh treats ankle boots like a portrait of objects. Leather folds, exposed sole, eyelets and laces make their use visible without adding a certain story about their owner.
The sole becomes the visual center
Its green-brown oval contrasts with the blue fabric and makes the reversal of the shoe immediately readable.
The laces extend the design
Their fine curves advance in the foreground and connect the two ankle boots.
The color exceeds brown
Blues, greens and orange touches animate a subject that Van Gogh could have treated in a purely earthy range.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The Baltimore Museum record documents dimensions, technique, object number, and membership in the Cone Collection.
The Cone Collection
The work comes from the collection assembled by Claribel and Etta Cone and is now on display at the museum.
F333/JH1236
These references distinguish Baltimore canvas from other pairs of shoes painted in Paris or Arles.
Work boots
The museum retains the title A Pair of Boots; the actual wear of the objects is the visual heart of the composition.
