Pencil-signed and marked as an artist's proof, this 1938 etching presents "Office Girls" as a close, quiet study of working women in dress and bearing. Isabel Bishop, who worked in New York, made a sustained body of prints and paintings in the 1930s showing office and shop workers in ordinary city settings rather than in dramatic moments. Her etchings from this period favor observed, unposed gestures, and this one records the clothing and manner of women who held office jobs during the Depression. The Library of Congress holds the print in the Ben and Beatrice Goldstein Collection of realist prints.
