Sloan, John. NUDE WITH BOWL OF FRUIT. Etching, 1931. M. 259. 131 x 273mm; 5 1/4" x 10 3/4", signed, titled and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil (only 50 were printed). In very good conditon, framed, and with the label of Bethesda Art Gallery, onthe verso of the frame. "Someone said the etching of the Nude with Fruit was like steel. I think that is a very good remark about it. Do you notice the work done all through it with the graver? I enjoy using it. You get a kick out of digging the copper out with the tool. And then it is a handsome dry line to use with etched lines." (JS 1931)
