This graphite sketchbook drawing captures Maurice Prendergast's interest in the Rocky Neck area of Gloucester, Massachusetts, a coastal artists' colony that he visited multiple times. The work demonstrates his characteristic loose, gestural line work and attention to the architectural character of the Granite Shore Hotel, rendered with the spontaneity typical of his sketchbook practice. Created in graphite, the drawing reveals Prendergast's preliminary studies of New England's maritime landscape and leisure culture during the early twentieth century.
