FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

Four well-dressed women gather on a hillside in Gloucester, Massachusetts, overlooking cottages and the boat-filled harbor of this prominent fishing and vacation town. Another figure passes on a horse or mule. In this tranquil seascape, Prendergast adapted classicizing scenes of the Mediterranean—from the Renaissance to his own time—to modern American life.
