Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 140: Three Figues with Color Notations

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of three female figures with some handwritten notes. The sketch is drawn in pencil on a piece of aged paper. The three figures are drawn with simple lines and minimal detail. The figures appear to be wearing long dresses. The figure on the left appears to be wearing a hat with a wide brim. The figure on the right appears to be wearing a hat on top of their head. There are four lines of handwritten text in the upper portion of the paper. The text reads "Umber and white", "Burnt Sienna blue white", and "Umber and white". The handwriting is difficult to decipher. The paper is off-white with a yellow tint, and has a rough texture. The edges of the paper are worn and slightly torn. The paper appears to be part of a sketchbook. The background behind the paper is dark gray.
