Description

This sketchbook contains 59 pages of graphite drawings and 16 watercolors made at various locations on Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
A horizontally oriented graphite and watercolor drawing across two sketchbook pages depicts a harbor scene. In the foreground, several figures with light skin tones sit on grass facing away, rendered in vibrant blue, red, and yellow washes. To the left, a house features a purple roof and red flag. In the distance, a boat emits smoke near a pier. Handwritten text at top left reads, "striped water indigo blue ochre."
