In Jeff Ackerman's "Shoe Salesman" we look for the identity of an Overlord, but circle around and around only to conclude that almost any of the characters in this tableaux are capable of playing that role. The figure in the upper left seems to be striding towards the viewer, his tie blown back, left hand reaching into his jacket pocket and expression wiped out by the crystalline facets of his geometric head. The live coin in the lower right could easily represent an Overlord, after all who else gets immortalized in relief? Yet why not view the dangling female legs as Overlord...offering or receiving a shoe in reverse Cinderella fashion to a promising gent from below?
