Reginald Marsh

(Street Scene Marseille)
c. 1928

A sketch of a bustling street scene with European-style buildings. The drawing features a detailed foreground with people walking and conversing, and a sign reading "VINS & SPIRITUEUX" indicating a wine and spirits shop. In the midground, a building with a sign "HOTEL MEUBLE" suggests a furnished hotel, and to the right, a sign "DU MARQUIS" is partially visible. The upper floors of the buildings have closed shutters. The background is lightly sketched, suggesting a cloudy sky and the continuation of the urban environment. The artist's signature "Utrillo" is at the bottom right.
