This is an antique etching print by artist John Sloan (American, 1871-1951). Sloan was a painter and etcher and is considered to be one of the founders of the Ashcan school of American art. He is best known for his urban genre scenes and ability to capture the essence of neighborhood life in New York City, often observed through his Chelsea studio window. Sloan has been called the premier artist of the Ashcan School, and also a realist painter who embraced the principles of Socialism, though he himself disassociated his art from his politics.
