EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor and graphite on paperboard artwork, titled "Stirrup Shoe" by Irving L. Biehn, dates back to the 1940s and offers a captivating glimpse into American fashion and decorative arts of the era. The image depicts a pair of elegant carriage boots, complete with intricately designed stirrups, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. Biehn's use of color and contrast adds depth and texture to the boots, making them appear almost lifelike. The boots, with their high, rounded toes and slender heels, are reminiscent of the equestrian fashion popular during the 1930s and 1940s, a period when horse riding was a popular pastime for the affluent. The artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American design and the influence of the rural lifestyle on fashion trends. The boots, with their functional yet decorative stirrups, were an essential part of riding equipment, and their representation in this artwork highlights their importance during this period. The "Stirrup Shoe" is a beautiful example of the index of American design and a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the decorative arts, fashion clothing, and the history of American design. This artwork is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
