Italian Sketchbook: Figures (page 200)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch on aged paper featuring six human figures drawn in pencil. The top half of the sketch depicts a scene with four people. On the left, one person appears to be sitting on a bench with their back to the viewer, while another figure stands on the right side. A third person stands on the left with their back to the viewer. A fourth figure stands to their right. A fifth figure leans on a long horizontal object in the center. A sixth, minimalist figure without defined features stands alone at the bottom. The background of the sketch is a simple, off-white color.
