Cattle Brand c. 1936

"Cattle Brand" is a black and white drawing by J. Henry Marley, created around 1936. The artwork depicts a stylized "P" brand, representing a cattle brand. The thick, bold lines suggest the artist's interest in the simplicity of form and the importance of individual identity. The minimalist design and use of black ink on paper reflect a common approach in abstract art and design, emphasizing the visual language of lines and shapes over representational imagery.
