Large Boston Public Garden Sketchbook: A man and two women sitting in the park
Maurice Brazil Prendergast
1895–97 · Recto: watercolor and pencil, bordered in pencil; Verso: pencil, bordered · Robert Lehman Collection
Prendergast’s expression of mood through posture and countenance is well demonstrated in this contemplative young woman and frail, old man. Apart from the arc of the slatted park bench, the sheet is laid out in watery blocks of blended brushwork.
