Specialist note

In his diary entry for November 13, 1909, John Sloan wrote, "Hurried, after my cocoa and shredded wheat breakfast to Joe Laub's and he and I went over to Central park and made sketches. Little bridle path subject. There is good stuff in the bridle path for a picture. The leisure class taking their medicine in the morning while we poor artists have to work!!" (as quoted in B. St. John, ed., John Sloan's New York Scene, 1906-1913, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 2013, p. 350)
