Hindu Dancer 1913

Maurice Prendergast's "Hindu Dancer" (1913) is a vibrant watercolor painting. The artwork depicts a woman in a traditional Indian dress, with her hands delicately holding a long, thin instrument. Prendergast's bold brushstrokes and use of color create a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of the Hindu dancer. The background features a swirling, abstract design, likely representing the dancer's surroundings. This work showcases Prendergast's fascination with the exotic and his unique approach to color and form. It's a great example of his distinctive style within the context of early 20th century American art.
