The artwork titled “Monhegan (study)” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1922 in the United States. Falling under the Symbolism art movement, this piece is categorized as a sketch and study.
The artwork depicts an abstract landscape, rendered with minimalistic lines and subtle detailing, characteristic of a preliminary sketch. The simplicity of the pencil strokes suggests a study of natural forms and topography, aiming to capture the essence of the scene rather than providing a detailed representation. The sweeping, fluid lines gently trace the contours of the land, giving an impressionistic sense of the subject’s structure while leaving much to the imagination.
