"Monhegan (study)" is a pencil drawing by Nicholas Roerich, completed in 1922. The drawing depicts a landscape with hills and water, likely a study for a larger work. Roerich is known for his paintings and sketches of the American landscape, often depicting dramatic mountain ranges. The artist's distinctive style blends realistic details with a touch of impressionism, capturing the essence of nature through simplified lines and forms. The study's simplicity and detail suggest a preparatory work for a more ambitious final piece.
