About this work

Artist: John Sloan (1871–1951)
Year: 1912
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 66.4 × 81.6 cm
Collection: Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover
Movement: Ashcan School

Three young women sit and stand on a tar-paper roof on their day off, combing out and shaking their long wet hair in the sun, with laundry flapping on a line and the brick chimneys and rooftops of lower Manhattan behind them. John Sloan painted it in 1912 from the kind of rooftop life he watched from his studio at 35 Sixth Avenue, and it was one of the two paintings he sent to the Armory Show the following year. The loose, quick brushwork and warm afternoon light are typical of Sloan's best New York pictures, which treated working women's leisure with sympathy rather than as a spectacle. The painting has been in the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts, since 1938.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A warm, sunny rooftop scene in brick red, white and soft blue for a living room, hallway or bedroom in a black frame. It pairs well with Bellows's New York pictures and suits a cream or pale grey wall.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair in the public domain?

Yes. John Sloan (1871–1951) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Addison Gallery of American Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair painted, and in what medium?

Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair dates from 1912 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 66.4 × 81.6 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair.
