JOHN SLOAN Romany Marye in Christopher Street.
Etching, 1936. 152x205 mm; 6x8 inches, full margins. Seventh state (of 7). Edition of 52 (from an intended edition of 100). Signed, titled and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin.
This etching depicts Romany Marye, who was one of the first 'tea room hostesses' in New York City. Marye attracted artists and writers to her restaurants through her humor, hospitality and kindness.
A very good impression of this scarce etching. We have found only one other impression at auction in the last 30 years. Morse 278.
