Window Shoe is a 1973 watercolor by Barbara Nessim, a contemporary_abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows four high-heeled shoes in different colors: light blue, teal, red, and black. Each shoe is drawn simply, with quick lines and flat colors. Underneath, there are handwritten notes listing color options and materials like "grey metal" and "black patent." The artist seems to be testing out ideas for shoe designs, mixing colors and finishes. The title *Window Shoe* hints these might be shoes meant to be seen through a window display. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this sketch in person.
