Nude Sketches 1917

"Nude Sketches" is an etching created by American artist John Sloan in 1917. The print features five figures rendered in a loose and gestural style characteristic of Sloan's work. The figures are depicted in various poses, some seated and some reclining, with the focus on the human form. Sloan's use of cross-hatching and shading creates a sense of depth and volume, while the overall composition is both dynamic and intimate. The work demonstrates Sloan's mastery of the etching technique and his keen interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
