Reginald Marsh

(Girl Walking toward Right)
1945

A monochromatic watercolor sketch depicts a female figure in a dynamic pose, wearing a short dress, thigh-high boots, and a headband with cat ears. She appears to be dancing or in motion, with her hair flowing and one arm raised. The background is loosely defined with abstract shapes and washes of gray, suggesting an interior space with columns or walls. The artwork has a raw, unfinished quality, with visible brush strokes and splatters. There is text at the bottom indicating the artist's name and the year 1974, along with a collection stamp.
