Mildred Taylor commented on this print in the August, 1923 International Studio: "Sloan's versatility in media and subject has kept hin out of the classifications into which artists unwittingly fall. Nevertheless there is an element in his work which will permit of generalization. It is a feeling for the immensities - for a certainess in the relationship of the tiny fragment to all creation. Here are fantasy, imagination, sweeping, swirling movement; subtlety without vagueness - withal, the tiny human being; tiny in proportion - through which he moves with inevitable sureness, as for example 'One'.
