Armenian village 1933

"Armenian Village" (1933) is a black and white ink drawing by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian (1880-1972), known for his landscape paintings and drawings. The artwork depicts a panoramic view of an Armenian village nestled in a valley, framed by rolling hills and a dramatic sky. Sarian's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the village's integration with its surrounding landscape. The depiction of farmers working the fields in the foreground highlights the importance of agriculture in Armenian life, a common theme in Sarian's oeuvre.
