Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 144: Two Figures walking with color notations

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of two people walking, drawn in a sketchbook. The page is off-white with yellowed edges and appears to be from a book or notebook. The sketch features two figures wearing long dresses and hats. The figure on the left has a hat with a wide brim and appears to be wearing a dress with a white color noted in cursive script below, with a hat and dress or shawl noted as umber and green. The figure on the right is wearing a hat with a bow and a dress noted as white. The background of the sketch is empty, with no other details or features. The overall style of the sketch is loose and expressive, with bold lines and minimal details. The sketch appears to be a study or preparatory work for a larger piece of art.
