Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 036 & 37: View of a Cove from above
1919
This graphite sketch by Maurice Prendergast captures an elevated vantage point of a coastal cove, demonstrating the artist's characteristic interest in leisure landscapes and natural formations. The composition employs gestural linework to suggest the rocky terrain and water's surface, reflecting Prendergast's Modernist approach to landscape representation through simplified forms and spatial immediacy. As part of his extensive sketchbook practice, this work exemplifies how the artist used drawing as a means of visual investigation and compositional development.
