ETHEL MARS Port Scene with Card Players.
Watercolor over pencil with white heightening on paper. 275x210 mm; 10 3/4x8 1/4 inches. Signed in pencil, lower left recto.
Mars (1876-1959) was born in Springfield, Illinois, and studied at an early age at the Cincinnati Art Academy. Toward the end of 1905/beginning of 1906, she moved to Paris, settling permanently in France, and returning briefly to the United States during World War I. This watercolor (and lots 85, 86 and 88) is typical of Mars' artistic work in France from the 1920s onward.
