Monhegan (study) 1922

"Monhegan (study)" is a pencil drawing by Nicholas Roerich created in 1922. The drawing, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, depicts a landscape view of Monhegan Island, known for its rugged coastline. The minimal lines and light strokes of the drawing suggest a fleeting impression of the island, capturing the artist's observation of the natural world. The drawing's simple style is characteristic of Roerich's early work, which often focused on landscapes and nature.
