Large Boston Public Garden Sketchbook: A woman walking in the rain under an umbrella
Maurice Brazil Prendergast
1895–97 · Recto: watercolor over pencil, bordered in pencil and watercolor; Verso: watercolor over pencil · Robert Lehman Collection
Using a palette suggestive of darkened skies and a rainy atmosphere, Prendergast has captured this elegant pedestrian crossing water-drenched streets, their surfaces reflecting the incandescent light of nearby buildings. The watercolor medium could not be more appropriate for the occasion.
