Description

This sketchbook contains 59 pages of graphite drawings and 16 watercolors made at various locations on Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
A horizontally oriented watercolor and graphite sketchbook spread depicts loosely rendered figures gathered along a coast. On the lower left, a person in a red dress sits on grass. At center, a man with a light skin tone stands holding a child, while to the right, a tall tree shades figures seated on benches. The background features a wooden pier with red flags and blue water under wispy pink and grey clouds.
