JOHN SLOAN
Robert Henri, Painter.

Etching, 1931. 355x279 mm; 14x11 inches, full margins. Eighth state (of 8). Edition of 60 (from an intended edition of 100). Signed, dedicated and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression, with strong contrasts and warm plate tone.

According to Morse, approximately 30 impressions were pulled from the plate in the seventh state and another 30 were taken in the eighth state, which differs in the heavy diagonal shading in the plate upper right, to account for the total published edition of 60. Morse 246.
