Reginald Marsh

(Two Figures on a Beach)
c. 1946

A grayscale ink wash drawing depicting two classical figures, possibly from mythology, with strong outlines and shading. The figure on the left appears to be a male with muscular build, seated with one arm raised to his head, while the figure on the right, also muscular and possibly female, is seated with her back slightly turned, looking downward. Both are set against a backdrop of loosely sketched forms and swirls, suggesting a dynamic, ethereal environment.
