Label TextTrained at the Art Student's League, Webb's etching for the New York City Federal Art Project's Graphic Arts Division pokes fun at his fellow artists. The distinctive attire of the figure examining her proof resembles the distinctive appearance of caricaturist Peggy Bacon, also trained at the Art Students League.
