This graphite sketchbook page by Maurice Prendergast captures a fleeting moment of figures aboard a boat near the Granite Shore Hotel in Rockport, depicting the artist's keen interest in leisure activities and seaside life. Executed with loose, gestural linework characteristic of his sketching practice, the drawing conveys movement and atmosphere through economical mark making rather than detailed rendering. The composition reflects Prendergast's engagement with modern leisure culture and his ability to distill complex scenes into essential forms, which later informed his more finished paintings and prints.
