Italian Sketchbook: Sailboat (page 224)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on aged paper depicts a sailboat. The boat is drawn with simple lines and minimal detail. It has a curved hull and three sails, with the largest sail at the back and two smaller ones in front. A small flag is drawn at the top of the tallest mast. The paper is off-white with darker edges and scattered dark spots. Three small holes are punched along the right edge. The sketch is centered on the page.
