ハンティントン・アベニューの路面電車
1895-1897
Maurice Prendergast captures a fleeting, breezy moment of urban life in Boston with this energetic watercolor sketch. A woman in a billowy white dress and a vibrant pink parasol stands out against the cool blues and greens of a streetcar, looking like she's waiting for a ride. Created around 1895, this piece reflects his early work as an illustrator, using a loose, spontaneous style that brought a fresh, modern energy to everyday American scenes. The little '17' in the corner hints that this was likely a page from a sketchbook, a quick snapshot of daily life before he turned these observations into his famous, mosaic-like masterpieces.
