From the museum
Prendergast developed a distinctive painting style featuring rounded patches of thickly applied color. Like many of his works, On the Beach, No. 3 visually approximates a densely woven tapestry. Three modes of transportation appear in this composition: a ship, horse, and donkey cart.
