(Study of Rockland Beach Bath House)
1892–1895

A pencil sketch on tattered paper depicting a simple, rectangular beach house with the words "ROCKLAND BEACH" written above. The structure is raised on stilts, with stairs leading up to separate entrances labeled "LADIES" and "GENTLEMAN." Numerical annotations and measurements are visible around the drawing, suggesting a planning or architectural context. Cloud-like scribbles in the sky and a small boat in the lower left corner complete the seaside scene.
