JOHN SLOAN
Kraushaar's.

Etching, 1926. 102x128 mm; 4x5 inches, full margins. Edition of 75 (from an intended edition of 100). Signed, titled and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression with strong contrasts.

Sloan's (1871-1951) portrait of his art dealer, the gallerist John F. Kraushaar, who with his older brother Charles W. Kraushaar ran their eponymous New York gallery in the early 1900s. The bespectacled, standing Kraushaar is shown offering a painting for sale to a wealthy couple. Morse 229.
