Maurice Brazil Prendergast American

Not on view

This vivid portrait may present someone known to Prendergast, given the striking features and immediate, frontal gaze. As with other nocturnal watercolors in the Public Garden Sketchbook, the artist employs a pink/blue/black/green palette resulting in a broadly washed, atmospheric mauve.
