DOMESTIC WORKER Art Print - Elizabeth Catlett

Domestic Worker (1946) is a crayon lithographic characteristic of Cattlet’s early graphic style. The picture’s exaggerated realism shows a domestic worker who clutches what appears to be a broomstick and a towel, reflecting Cattlet’s interest in the experience of labor for African Americans living in the mid-20th century, especially those of women.
