Description: Man, Wife, and Child is one of several comfortable, working-class domestic scenes that Sloan set in a bedroom, with clothes draped on chairs and drawers ajar. The couple, both in states of undress—the man with his suspenders dangling and the woman in a corset and unlaced boots—dance in a beam of light so bright, it’s as if they’re performing the rituals of marriage on stage.
