By the sea 1907

"By the Sea" is a pencil drawing by the Armenian artist Martiros Sarian, created in 1907. The artwork depicts a simple scene of a lone gazelle standing by a body of water with a flock of birds flying overhead. Sarian's use of simple lines and hatching creates a sense of stillness and tranquility in the artwork, characteristic of his early work. The drawing is small in scale and likely depicts a moment of observation and reflection. This sketch showcases Sarian's mastery of capturing the essence of nature through his signature minimalist style, with a focus on capturing the essence of form.
