Rendered in delicate pencil strokes, the work demonstrates Prendergast's observational approach to recording architectural and natural elements during his travels to Rockport. The sketch exemplifies the intimate, exploratory nature of Prendergast's working process, where he used sketchbooks to study composition and form before developing more finished paintings.
