Bathers, New England 1919

"Bathers, New England" (1919) by American artist Maurice Prendergast (1858–1924), depicts a lively scene of bathers enjoying a day at the beach. The painting showcases Prendergast’s characteristic use of vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes, which evoke the energy and movement of the figures. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a loose, asymmetrical pattern that creates a sense of depth and perspective. This watercolor captures the essence of summer leisure and the carefree spirit of seaside life.
