The artwork, titled “Monhegan (study),” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1922 in the United States. This piece belongs to the Symbolism movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork showcases a minimalist, pencil-drawn landscape capturing Monhegan Island’s contours and outlines. It features subtle, flowing lines that suggest the terrain and atmospheric elements of the island. The sketch is executed with a delicate touch, emphasizing the shapes and forms of the landscape, reflecting the Symbolist tendencies of focusing on interpretive and evocative elements rather than detailed realism.
