The artwork titled “Study, St. Malo. No 11” by Maurice Prendergast, created circa 1907, is an oil painting on panel that measures 26.67 by 34.93 cm. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and depicts a landscape scene. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
The painting illustrates a coastal scene at St. Malo, capturing the vibrancy of its seaside environment. The composition features a multitude of colorful elements, including small boats sailing on the water and beach tents along the shore. Prendergast employs a mixture of lively, dappled brushstrokes to evoke a sense of movement and atmosphere, typical of the Post-Impressionist style. The sky, bedecked with clouds, reflects the light beautifully, adding a serene yet dynamic quality to the overall landscape. The cohesive blend of colors and forms creates a vivid representation of a lively seaside scene.
