Literature
Rowland Elzea, John Sloan's Oil Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné, Part II, University of Delaware Press, Newark; and Associated University Presses, London and Toronto, 1991, no. 959, p. 344 (illustrated).
Note
The model presented here appears to be Gitel Kahn. According to Elzea, "although her hair is unfashionably long for 1933, that date has been assigned because of Sloan's use of heavy, almost romantic shadows in some of his work of 1933, which he abandoned in other works of the same year, and later.
