Sloan, John. NUDE READING. (M234) Etching, 1928. 5" x 7", signed in pencil, titled and inscribed "100 proofs," of which 75 were printed, of which this is one of 50 printed by Ernest Roth, and signed by him in the lower left margin. In very good condition. "This nude, posed in the etcher's studio, gives the first strong evidence of sculptural approach. It is interesting to recall that the same quality is being sought in the paintings of and since that time." (Sloan)
