Provenance: Private collection, Nashville.
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, Mars moved to Paris, settling permanently in France aside from some time back in the U.S. during World War I. This pencil drawing is typical of Mars' early artistic style in France.
