"Groom Polishing Riding Boots" is an oil painting by the American artist Walter Gay (1856–1937), who was known for his interior scenes and depictions of domestic tranquility. While Gay's oeuvre primarily focused on the opulent interiors of French chateaux and the homes of the wealthy, this particular work diverges from his usual subject matter by portraying a more utilitarian scene of everyday life.

The painting captures a moment of quiet diligence as a groom, dressed in work attire, is engrossed in the task of polishing a pair of riding boots. The composition highlights the contrast between the humble, labor-intensive task and the luxury implied by the riding boots, which are often associated with the leisure activities of the upper class. Gay's attention to detail and his ability to render different textures are evident in the depiction of the leather boots, the groom's clothing, and the accessories of his trade.

Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, "Groom Polishing Riding Boots" reflects Gay's academic training and his affinity for the Realist movement, which sought to represent subjects truthfully and without artifice. The painting is a testament to Gay's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his nuanced approach to portraying the quiet moments of daily life.

As an American artist who spent much of his career in France, Walter Gay's works are held in various collections and have been exhibited in both the United States and Europe. "Groom Polishing Riding Boots" contributes to the understanding of Gay's diverse range of subjects and his ability to imbue a seemingly mundane scene with a sense of dignity and aesthetic appeal.
