AMERICAN PLAINS WITH MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THE DISTANCE
On the Beach, No. 3, by Maurice Prendergast, c. 1915–18
Bastille Day, by Maurice Prendergast, 1892
Oil painting
The image depicts a landscape with towering rock formations dominating the scene. The ground is rugged and textured, leading the eye towards the rock pillars in the center. A structure or building is perched atop one of these rocks. The background shows the horizon above the structure, with clouds and sky stretching out beyond. The artwork features detailed brushstrokes adding texture to the rocks. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of charcoal or ink, emphasizing the contrast between the rocks and the sky.
Self-Portrait, by Abbott Handerson Thayer, 1920
