Hi Ellen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Rather than this being an original graphite drawing, it's a lithograph engraving called "Safe and Sound" (alternatively titled "Tucking a Child In") and was originally made in an edition of 200, in 1974, as part of his "American Family" portfolio.
These do come to market from time to time; when they do, they usually sell for between $150 and $200.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
