Sketchbook, page 133: Marine View with color notations

This graphite sketchbook page by Maurice Prendergast captures a marine landscape with the artist's characteristic attention to atmospheric effects and coastal scenery. The color notations inscribed throughout the composition reveal Prendergast's working process, indicating his intended palette for a finished work while the graphite medium documents his observational drawing technique. As a page from the artist's working sketchbook, it provides valuable insight into how this American Post-Impressionist translated his direct studies into more developed paintings.
