Italian Sketchbook: Standing Woman and Man (page 125)

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sketch depicts a woman and a man. The woman wears a long dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt featuring vertical lines indicating pleats or folds. A ruffled hem is visible at the bottom of her dress. She has on a large hat adorned with what appears to be a bow. A shawl or jacket with puffy sleeves is draped over her shoulders. The man, positioned behind and to the right of the woman, is dressed in a coat or suit and a hat. His facial features are not detailed. The background of the sketch is a plain, off-white color with darker edges, suggesting the aging of the paper.
