Forging of buffalo. Study. 1927

This dynamic study by Russian artist Pyotr Konchalovsky, created in 1927, depicts a group of men working on the carcass of a buffalo. The use of quick, gestural lines captures the energy and movement of the scene, highlighting the artist’s focus on the human form and its relationship to its surroundings. The sketch’s unfinished nature further emphasizes the immediacy and spontaneity of the subject matter, demonstrating the artist’s interest in capturing the essence of a moment. "Forging of buffalo. Study" is an example of Konchalovsky’s artistic approach, which combined elements of Impressionism with a focus on the realities of daily life.
