Maurice Prendergast

Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 076 & 77: Figures in a Landscape

1919

This graphite sketchbook page by Maurice Prendergast captures loosely rendered figures situated within a natural landscape, demonstrating the artist's characteristic approach to figure composition and spatial arrangement. The drawing exhibits Prendergast's fluent handling of graphite, with economical linework that suggests form and movement rather than defining it precisely. As a working study from his sketchbook, this page reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of human figures in outdoor settings, a subject central to his artistic practice throughout his career.
