Large Boston Public Garden Sketchbook: Two women conversing on the street
In this vibrant watercolor, Prendergast integrates the white of the paper into the densely brushed composition, its parasol crowning an elaborate hat of raised poppies. The highly finished quality of the whole suggests its intended later use in another medium.
