Reginald Marsh

Box at the Metropolitan
1934

An etching depicting a group of people in an ornate theater box. The image shows finely dressed men and women, some of whom appear to be engaged in conversation, while others are focused on something outside the frame, possibly a stage. The artwork is detailed, with expressive faces and period clothing, suggesting a scene from a bygone era. The theater box is adorned with decorative elements, and the etching includes text at the bottom, indicating the artist's name and possibly the title of the work. The paper has rough edges, adding to the vintage feel of the piece.
