Reginald Marsh

Study for BMT, 14th Street

1932

Preliminary sketch of a group of figures with grid lines, possibly for a larger artwork. The drawing, done in pencil, shows various characters in different poses and expressions, with some details more refined than others. The grid suggests the artist's intention to scale the drawing or maintain proportion in a larger piece. The paper appears aged, with a yellowish tint and some creases, and there's a small piece of tape in the upper left corner.
