This sketchbook work by Maurice Prendergast captures a picturesque coastal scene at the Granite Shore Hotel in Rockport, rendered in graphite and watercolor across two pages. The artist employs his characteristic delicate touch and soft color palette to depict the hotel building and surrounding garden landscape, demonstrating the sketching practice he used to gather visual material during his travels. The work exemplifies Prendergast's interest in domestic architecture and leisure spaces, subjects that frequently appeared in his finished paintings and reflected the genteel cultural life of early twentieth century New England.
