Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 084 & 85: Landscape with Houses and Spire

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two-page spread from a sketchbook, showing a pencil drawing of a landscape with houses and a church spire. The left page depicts a rough, unfinished sketch of a building with a fence in front, and trees behind. The right page depicts a similar scene, but with a church steeple rising above the trees. The drawings are loose and expressive, with bold lines and minimal details. The paper is off-white and yellowed with age, with visible signs of wear around the edges. The drawings appear to be a quick study or planning sketch for a more finished work.
