Italian Sketchbook: Boat with Figures (page 172)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on aged paper, depicting a boat with people, viewed from side. The boat has a pointed bow and a flat stern. Several figures are seated inside; exact details unclear. The background shows vertical lines suggesting a cityscape or buildings. The page is numbered "172" in the upper right corner. The sketching style is loose and expressive with minimal details. The paper has a yellowish tone and visible edges. The boat appears to be on water with wavy lines underneath. Some foliage or objects are drawn at the boat's base. The overall composition is simple and quick.
