John Sloan

Of Human Bondage, Chapter 49
1937

Detailed etching of a crowded scene with numerous figures, possibly at a social gathering or event, with chandeliers overhead and a central focus on a table where individuals appear to be engaged in conversation or an activity. The artwork is signed and has a rough paper edge, suggesting it may be a print or a plate from a larger collection.
