I came across this excellent drypoint print by Martin Lewis at the National Gallery site --
Shadow Dance, 1930
The artist is Martin Lewis, a highly-regarded drypoint artist who specialized in scenes of New York life during the 1920s and 1930s. The NGA site presents these two additional prints, also in drypoint, by Lewis --
