Sketchbook- The Granite Shore Hotel, Rockport, page 031: Female Nude seen from the back

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

An open sketchbook page with yellowed paper; the right edge of the page is slightly curled and shows signs of aging. A black and white sketch of a female nude viewed from behind is centered on the page, drawn in charcoal. The woman has short hair and her body is depicted with bold, expressive lines emphasizing her form. Her arms are bent at the elbows and her hands are near her waist. The legs are slightly apart, with her weight seemingly shifted onto her right leg. The background of the sketch is plain. The page number "31" is written in the top right corner.
