McSorley's c. 1915

"McSorley's" (c. 1915) is an etching by American artist John Sloan, known for his depictions of everyday life in New York City. This print captures a scene inside the historic McSorley's Old Ale House, a popular bar in the city's Lower East Side. The etching is rendered in a characteristically expressive style, with loose lines and a focus on capturing the mood and atmosphere of the space. The work offers a glimpse into the social life of early 20th-century New York and serves as a testament to Sloan's keen observation of urban life.
