Description

This sketchbook contains 59 pages of graphite drawings and 16 watercolors made at various locations on Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
A graphite and watercolor drawing across two open cream-colored sketchbook pages depicts a coastal scene with loose, swirling lines. On the left, a gabled house sits atop a hill overlooking figures rendered with brief curls of lead. Masted boats float in a cove beneath a thin tower on the right. Dense, gestural bushes fill the foreground, while a small group stands in the middle ground, their forms suggested by quick, dark dashes.
