Painted circa 1920-1923, Country Lane Rockport exhibits Prendergast's predilection for capturing glimpses of picturesque crowds leisurely strolling through tranquil New England towns. After his final travels abroad in 1914, Prendergast frequently summered in locales including Annisquam, Gloucester and Westport among others, taking his surroundings as his primary subject. The present work depicts a cheerful scene in Rockport, Massachusetts, executed with the artist's signature mosaic-like brushwork and bold coloration. Of Prendergast's output of this period, Milton W. Brown explains, "The brushstrokes become larger and bolder, and they take on an abstract quality apart from the underlying forms they are supposed to define, moving in independent directions, and varying in size and shape. But, while obscuring and overriding those forms, they succeed in unifying the pictorial surface" ("Maurice B. Prendergast," in C. Clark, N.M. Matthews and G. Owens, Maurice Brazil Prendergast and Charles Prendergast: A Catalogue Raisonné, Williamstown, Massachusetts, 1990, p. 22)
