Sketchbook, The Dells, N° 127, page 124 & 125: Landscape with Houses
1919
This graphite sketchbook drawing by Maurice Prendergast captures a landscape scene featuring clustered houses rendered in his characteristic loose, gestural line work. The composition demonstrates the artist's interest in informal spatial arrangement and picturesque rural or village settings, typical of his prolific sketchbook practice. Executed with economical yet expressive draftsmanship, the work reveals Prendergast's process of visual note taking and his ongoing exploration of landscape subjects that would inform his finished paintings.
