Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch of a woman and a child on off-white paper. The woman stands on the right with her head tilted downward. Her left arm is bent upward at the elbow with her hand near her face. Her right arm extends downward with her hand near the child's head. The child stands on the left with their body facing right. The child has their arms at their sides. The woman has a rounded chin, no neck, and a round head with a curved line for hair. The woman and child are drawn with simple lines and minimal detail. There are small dark spots on the paper. The paper is yellowed with age and has darker edges. The edges of the pages are visible on the left and right sides. A thin black background surrounds the paper on the top and bottom.
