Footsteps in the sand" is a 1936 intaglio print made with etching and drypoint, a combination that lets a printmaker pair crisp etched contours with the soft, velvety shadows of drypoint. Signed in pencil, it presents women in nude figure studies, a subject that appears often in American printmaking of the 1930s, when artists turned to the human figure in simple, open settings. The decade was a lively one for printmaking in the United States, as government art projects and independent workshops put etching and drypoint within reach of many artists.
