Sketchbook, page 152 & 153: View of the Sea with color notations

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two pages from a lined notebook, possibly a sketchbook. The pages are yellowed with age and have rough edges. The pages are filled with pencil sketches of wavy lines that resemble a seascape. The left page has a large, rectangular sketch with wavy lines that could represent the ocean, but there are no clear details. The right page has similar wavy lines and some illegible handwritten text. Some of the text on the right page includes the words "yellow," "blue," "green," and "purple." The handwriting is difficult to read, but it seems to be notes about colors. The background of the image is dark gray.
