Foot Scraper 1937

Milton Grubstein's "Foot Scraper" (1937) is a detailed pencil drawing of a decorative object designed to scrape dirt off shoes. The piece features ornate scrollwork and stylized leaves, evocative of classical Greek and Roman design. Grubstein's meticulous detail and realistic shading create a three-dimensional effect, making the drawing appear almost sculptural. While the exact function and origin of the foot scraper remain unknown, this work highlights Grubstein's keen eye for detail and his fascination with historical artifacts.
