Reginald Marsh

(View of Port)
c. 1927

A pencil sketch of a bustling river scene with a prominent tugboat in the foreground emitting large plumes of smoke. The background features indistinct outlines of buildings and other boats, suggesting a busy industrial port. The sketch is characterized by dynamic strokes and a sense of movement, with the smoke adding to the atmospheric perspective.
