Toe Shoe Boot is a 1973 watercolor by Barbara Nessim, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two tall boots drawn side by side. One boot is bright red with crisscrossing straps, while the other is dark gray with a smooth, simple shape. Numbers label different materials like suede, elastic, and satin ribbons. The red boot looks bold and busy, while the gray one feels sleek. The artist listed the exact fabrics used, like "red crepe" and "black patent." Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
The design features a sketch for a toe shoe boot intended for potential production by Carber Shoes, with material specifications noted below the drawings.
