The Slippers is a 1894 by Charles Maurin, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman in a loose, red dress kneels on a rug, reaching for a pair of slippers on the floor. Behind her, a dark stove stands against a blue wall. Her hair is pulled back, and she leans forward, one arm stretched out. The colors are soft—warm reds, cool blues, and muted greens on the rug. Notice how the light hits her arm and the slippers, making them glow against the darker room. The scene looks like a quiet moment in daily life.
