Sketchbook- The Granite Shore Hotel, Rockport, page 098: Sailboat

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil drawing on yellowed paper of a boat with two sails. The boat sits on the center-left side of the paper. A single mast holds up two triangular sails on the left and right. Loose scribbles suggest the shape of the billowing fabric. A second pole extends from the center of the boat to the right. Darker shading on the right creates the appearance of a second sail; however, no mast is drawn. A long dark line sits on top of the boat on the right. The boat itself appears low in the water with shading underneath suggesting it is floating. The boat's bow points to the left. A building is faintly drawn in the background behind the boat on the right with roof lines and a scribbled appearance. A small number "1" sits in the upper right corner. The paper is yellowed and slightly darker on the edges. A darker strip runs along the left and right sides. A light strip sits on top.
