Reason

Very well completed painting which is significant in part for the controversy over its sale (although discussion of a sale began in 2008, it wasn't sold until 2014...). Also, it's the National Gallery's first major American painting.

• Support — For the stark, gritty atmosphere. Notable that it's the first major American painting purchased by the National Gallery, London (in February 2014). (Wonder why it's not included in Ashcan School gallery, altho two others of his are?) Sca (talk) 16:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
