Italian Sketchbook: Standing Woman in Profile (page 51)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil drawing on aged paper of a woman in profile facing left. The woman has a curly bun-like hairstyle, and her facial features are minimal, with only two small dots for eyes and no other details. She wears a high-necked top with a scarf or shawl around her shoulders. Her left arm is bent at the elbow and the hand is near her body, while her right arm is mostly obscured by her clothing. She appears to be wearing a long skirt. The drawing style is loose and sketchy. The background of the paper is off-white with darker edges.
