About this work

The Brussels cobbler Alfred van Goethem made all of Mrs Brusse-Urtebise's shoes as well as her husband's. The model of some of the shoes she wore can hardly be distinguished from that of men's footwear. The fact that this pair of shoes laces up on the side, indicates that it was made for a woman.
