Sketchbook, loose sheet between pgs. 145 & 146

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of three nude figures drawn in pencil on a piece of paper. The paper is off-white and rectangular, with blue lines running vertically across it. It appears to be a loose sheet of paper, likely from a sketchbook, as indicated by the title and artist. The paper has rough edges and is slightly torn at the top. The sketch depicts three figures: two seated and one standing. The figure on the left sits on a low platform or bench, facing right, with their back to the viewer, wearing a hat, and their hands in their lap. The middle figure sits on a low platform or bench, facing right, with their back to the viewer, wearing a hat, and their legs crossed. The figure on the right stands facing left, with their hands on their hips. The background of the sketch is minimal, with no details or shading. The overall style of the sketch is simple and expressive, with bold lines and minimal detail.
