Reginald Marsh

(On Beach and Two Standing Figures)
1943

Sketches on paper featuring multiple figures in various poses. On the left, there are two studies of a muscular figure from behind, one standing and one bending forward. In the upper right corner, a figure is sketched in a reclined back pose with an arm extended. The central and largest sketch depicts a group of figures lounging together, with one prominently seated in the foreground looking towards the viewer, while others appear in more relaxed or recumbent positions around them. The sketches are detailed and appear to be studies of human anatomy and pose. Handwritten notes and dates are visible on the paper, suggesting the work is part of an artist's study or series.
