Italian Sketchbook: Seated Woman Sewing (page 153)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on off-white paper of a woman sitting and sewing. The woman is depicted with her head down and hair pulled back. She is shown from the waist up, leaning over a table or surface that is not fully drawn. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, and her right hand is holding something, likely a sewing needle. The left arm is also bent at the elbow. The drawing is composed of loose, expressive lines and minimal details. The overall style is impressionistic and sketch-like.
