Sketchbook- The Granite Shore Hotel, Rockport, page 099: Seated Female Figures

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on yellowed paper of four seated female figures. The figures are drawn in a simple, impressionistic style with minimal facial features and details. The figures are sitting in a row, all facing each other. Their bodies and heads are roughly outlined with minimal shading. The figures appear to be wearing dresses. The paper is yellowed and worn, with visible signs of aging. The page has a rough, torn edge at the top. The page number "99" is written in the bottom right corner. The sketch is drawn in pencil. The overall style of the sketch is loose and expressive.
