Reginald Marsh

Study for Coney Island Beach #2
1944

A sketch on paper with various annotations and a date marked July 23, 1944. The drawing appears to be a loose, abstract collection of shapes and forms, possibly figures, created with a wash of gray tones. The paper has holes punched at the top, suggesting it was once stored in a binder or similar filing system. Handwritten notes on the right side indicate "Chinese white," "Chinese stick," "fox bay brush," "two coats ink," and "Coney Island Beach #2 1944," providing context that this may be a preparatory work or study related to a specific location and materials used.
