Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 106: Sailboat

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a sailboat drawn in pencil on a piece of paper. The sailboat is drawn at the top of the page, centered, with its bow pointing to the right. The boat has a flat bottom and a pointed bow. There are three sails on the boat, all roughly rectangular in shape. The sails are drawn with lines indicating folds. The mast on the left is thicker and has two lines extending from it to the sides of the boat. The mast on the right is thinner and straight. The paper is off-white and has a yellowed edge. The paper is slightly worn and has some darker spots. The background behind the paper is dark gray. The sketch takes up only the top portion of the page, leaving the majority of the page blank.
