Marianna Sloan was the sister of the famous artist, John Sloan. She is known for her murals, especially those in several churches in Pennsylvanian. The present work is inscribed with a partial line from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, no. 170: 'So when the angle of the darker drink/At last shall find you at the river-brink.'
