DescriptionConey Island, a favorite New York City location, was often visited by Marsh and used as the subject of his works, in watercolors, oils, etchings and photographs. "Coney Island Beach" depicts a crowd of bathers gathered on the beach with a ship far off in the distance. In the center of the painting, a woman poses with a man who stands behind her in support. The remaining figures seem to be engaged in other activities and unaware of the viewer.On View
