This satirical piece highlighted both society's fascination with charlatans as well as its penchant for drama. Marks also had a knack for capturing everyday moments infused with joyous energy. In "The Benefits of a Northern Excursion, " he portrayed people reveling in fiddling and dancing – showcasing the simple pleasures found within one's own home. His artistic prowess extended beyond human subjects; nature too found its place on his canvas. In "View in Regents Park, " Marks beautifully rendered London's St Marylebone area, inviting viewers to appreciate the serenity found amidst bustling city life. Marks' talent was not limited to paintings alone; he ventured into sculpture as well.
