John Marin
ink and charcoal
(8.3" x 6")

This is a drawing of a portrait bust of John Marin, done by Gaston Lachaise in 1927. The portrait, which is encased with glass or acrylic, is in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Lachaise is best known for his polished earth mothers; however, I much prefer his portraits.

A copy of the Marin portrait is in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It's dated 1928. A photo of it is below, along with Standing Woman, 1927, which is in the Met in New York.
