Rowland Elzea writes of the present painting, "Sloan's selection of the red-haired models who posed for him in 1913...suggests that, because of the powerful color harmonies that red hair offers--purple, red-orange, and blue, in this case--Sloan must have been reacting to the intense color used by the European artists such as Van Gogh that he had seen in the Armory Show, which had opened in February of that year. The increased emphasis on brush-work in these paintings as well as others of the latter part of that year, must also be due to the same stimulus." (R. Elzea, John Sloan's Oil Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné, part one, Newark, Delaware, 1991, pp. 130-31) Sloan's other painting of 1913 to use Carol as a model is Carol with Blue Hair Ribbon currently in The Michener Collection at the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery, University of Texas at Austin.
