Own a museum work! Frederick Sission, art critic of the Providence Journal praised the work in a 1931 review, "A small block called Breton Types was judged the most unusual of her prints. It is an unusual composition of three characterful peasant heads shown in relief against a silhouetted fishing boat. An angry black sky above suggest the unknown terrors of their hazardous occupation".
