Item/Description: Two pencil signed and numbered etchings by Russian born, American artist Raphael Soyer (Russian-American, 1899-1987).

Raphael Soyer, often called the "East Side Degas," was a Social Realist painter because of his interest in the common man, although he avoided subjects that were particularly critical of society. The Depression's economic difficulties could be seen in his subjects. Women at work became a theme with Soyer after 1940.
