Maurice Prendergast

Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 102 & 103: Landscape with Houses and Road

1919

This graphite sketchbook page by Maurice Prendergast depicts a rural landscape featuring modest houses nestled along a winding road, rendered in the artist's characteristic loose, gestural drawing style. The work captures the picturesque scenery of The Dells, a region that inspired Prendergast throughout his career, with attention to the interplay of structures and natural forms. The sketchy, economical linework demonstrates Prendergast's practiced hand and his ability to convey spatial depth and atmosphere through minimal but assured marks.
