Colorful watercolor painting of Babe Ruth in uniform standing atop a pile of tin cans. Several abstract titling references encircle the main image with green background. The painting illustrates Ruth's bat sweeping away debris as it was originally purchased to benefit flood victims in Taos, NM in 1930. Marin's work is very highly regarded having been exhibited in numerous major institutions. Various labels remain affixed to the back including 1986 letter confirming the piece as an authentic Marin adding to his catalogue: EX-MT
