This graphite sketchbook drawing by Maurice Prendergast captures a coastal harbor scene featuring a lighthouse and the Granite Shore Hotel in Rockport, rendered across two pages of his working notebook. The delicate pencil lines demonstrate Prendergast's characteristic attention to compositional structure and atmospheric effects, with loose, gestural marks suggesting boats, water, and architectural forms. The sketch exemplifies the artist's practice of drawing from observation, which often served as preliminary studies for his more finished watercolor and oil paintings.
