Reginald Marsh

(Standing Female Nude)
c. 1939

A sketch of a muscular figure in a dynamic pose with one arm raised, possibly holding a spear, on a lightly textured paper. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines that suggest the form and anatomy of the figure. The paper has perforations along one edge, indicating it may have been torn from a spiral-bound sketchbook.
