"St. Malo aka Sketch St. Malo" is a watercolor painting by Maurice Brazil Prendergast, an American Post-Impressionist artist known for his vibrant and light-filled works that often depicted leisure scenes and landscapes. Maurice Prendergast (1858–1924) was a significant figure in the introduction of avant-garde European painting styles into American art at the turn of the 20th century.

The artwork captures a scene from the historic French town of Saint-Malo, renowned for its picturesque coastal views and walled city. Prendergast's depiction is characterized by his distinctive use of color and form, employing a mosaic-like technique with dabs and patches of color that create a lively and dynamic composition. This approach is reflective of his interest in the works of the French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, as well as the decorative qualities found in the Nabis movement and Japanese woodblock prints, both of which influenced his artistic style.

"St. Malo aka Sketch St. Malo" is part of Prendergast's larger body of work that includes numerous watercolors and sketches from his travels in Europe. These works are celebrated for their innovative approach to capturing the effects of light and atmosphere, as well as the rhythmic patterns of figures and landscapes. Prendergast's travel sketches not only served as souvenirs of his journeys but also as studies for later, more finished works.

The painting is a testament to Prendergast's ability to blend spontaneity with a structured composition, a hallmark of his mature style. The watercolor's precise date of creation is not well-documented, but it likely falls into the period of Prendergast's extensive travels in the late 1890s and early 1900s when he visited various European locations, including France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

As with many of Prendergast's works, "St. Malo aka Sketch St. Malo" is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of early American modernism and for its representation of the artist's unique interpretation of the rapidly changing world at the dawn of the 20th century. The painting is part of Prendergast's legacy that continues to be studied and appreciated for its joyful celebration of life and its pioneering artistic techniques.
