Reginald Marsh

Study for Swinging Chairs
1943

A sketch on paper featuring two women and two men in a dynamic, somewhat abstract style. The woman in the foreground is seated and looking to the side with detailed hair and facial features, while the other woman appears to be reclining or in motion with her hair wildly flowing. The two men are depicted only by their heads in the lower part of the drawing, with one wearing a hat. The sketch includes loose lines and appears unfinished, with some areas more defined than others. The paper has holes punched on the left side and is marked with various annotations and numbers at the top and bottom.
