Sueno, the Spanish word for dream, reflects Smith's long-time interest in the human body, which she looks at from the inside out. The figure in this print seems not to have skin, so that the viewer looks directly at musculature. Although much of Smith's work pertains to the specifics of male or female anatomy, this figure is genderless. The etching is black, with touches of red that add life to the figure.

Smith was born in Nuremburg, Germany in 1954. She did not study art, but her father was an important American sculptor, Tony Smith, and she grew up in an art milieu. Smith lives in New York City and has been active in the arts since the 1970s, first as a painter and later branching into sculpture and all types of works on paper.
