Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 122 & 123: Figures on a Coast

Maurice Prendergast

Cleveland Museum of Art

Open sketchbook showing two facing pages, both with watercolor and pen and ink drawings of people outdoors. The scene on both pages appears to be a beach or lakeside setting with a large tree on the right-hand page and a pier on the left. The left page shows a pink cloud in the blue sky over a wooden pier with red-roofed buildings. The pages are filled with people dressed in early 20th-century attire, walking or sitting; colors used are red, blue, yellow, green, black, gray, and white with minimal details. A large tree with green leaves on the right-hand page dominates the scene. The edges of the pages are rough and torn.
