Sketchbook
<p>Over the course of her career as a weaver, Ethel Stein also proved to be a devoted draughtswoman. Stein’s sketchbooks which feature numerous figure studies done in a variety of media demonstrate her attention to exploring and examining the human form as a source of inspiration. Her weaving <em>The Three Graces</em> <a href="https://www.artic.edu/artworks/213539/the-three-graces">(2012.413)</a> provides a striking example of the artist incorporating these figures into her woven work.</p>
