Maurice Prendergast
Sketchbook- The Granite Shore Hotel, Rockport, page 170: Female Nude
1905
This graphite sketchbook page by Maurice Prendergast depicts a female nude figure rendered with the artist's characteristic loose, gestural line work. The drawing captures an intimate moment of study, likely created during Prendergast's time in Rockport, Massachusetts, where he frequently sketched from life. The economical use of graphite demonstrates the artist's skill at conveying form and movement through minimal but assured linework, typical of his exploratory approach to figure drawing in his private sketchbooks.
