121: MARY HUNTOON (1896-1970) PENCIL SIGNED WPA ETCHING

Mary Huntoon (1896-1970)
Kansas Landscape (1937)
The sand ground dry point etching from an edition of only 100 prints is signed in pencil by Mary Huntoon lower right and titled lower left.

The sand ground technique creates an intaglio effect that lends tonal qualities not otherwise present with dry point, the result being akin to to that produced by the aquatint process.

This was a Federal Art Project Print.
