Reginald Marsh

(Forty-five Minute Drawing of a Seated Woman)
1925

A charcoal sketch of a seated woman wearing a long dress and a shawl, with her hands resting on her lap. She appears contemplative or weary, with a shadow cast behind her. The drawing is detailed, showing texture in the clothing and fine lines in the woman's face. There is an inscription at the bottom right that suggests the piece was completed in November 1915.
