JOHN SLOAN Parlor Scene.
Crayon on cream wove paper on board, 1904. 283x384 mm; 11 1/8x15 inches. Signed and dated in ink, lower left recto.
Sloan (1871-1951) was one of four founding members of the American artists group known as The Eight (which formed in 1908 in New York in opposition to the National Academy of Design's exclusive exhibitions), along with George Luks, William Glackens and Everett Shinn, who began their artistic careers as illustrators for Philadelphia-based news publications. They supplemented their incomes well into the early 1900s as illustrators before their art gained commercial success.
