Context: John Sloan, a journalist and cartoonist from Philadelphia, explored social issues more vigorously than any other Ash Can artist. Compassion for the oppressed led him to depict the immigrant communities of Manhattan's Lower East Side. According to Sloan's diary, this picture was painted in March 1912 at his apartment on East 22nd Street in New York. Returning several times to the theme of this painting, Slaon wrote, "The subject, a woman putting out her wash, is one that never loses its charm for me." Sloan's images of tthe working poor are endowed with nostalgia and admiration for a spirit he believed was unspoiled by middle-class American values.
