I'm now imagining John Sloan and Emile Friant in bed together. Sometimes it's real fun to imagine that sexy artists who probably(?) never met and who probably never knew each other, did in fact meet, and then they jumped into bed together! I'm imagining John Sloan and Emile Friant doing just that. Ahhhh. Golly, the dates of these two self-portraits are similar. Maybe Sloan and Friant did know each other, and maybe they did spend lots of time in bed with each other. Doing all kinds of sexy stuff... Maybe?! Ah, sometimes the mind, it just boggles!
