Reginald Marsh

(Sleeping Man in Battery Park)
1930s

A charcoal sketch on paper depicting a seated figure slumped over in a relaxed or sleeping pose. The person is wearing loose-fitting clothing and a hat that obscures their face. The drawing is signed "Battery Park" at the bottom right corner, suggesting the location where this scene might have been captured. The paper has rough edges and shows signs of age.
