Figures in a landscape 1919

This 1919 pencil sketch by Nicholas Roerich is a quintessential example of his landscape style. "Figures in a Landscape" depicts a mountainous scene with a group of figures in the foreground, rendered in a simplified, almost geometric, manner. Roerich's work often explores themes of spirituality and nature, emphasizing the grandeur of the natural world. The muted tones of the drawing create a sense of serenity and solitude, inviting viewers to contemplate the vastness of the landscape.
