Study of lying boy 1894

"Study of Lying Boy" (1894) by Nicholas Roerich depicts a young boy in a blue jacket and brown trousers, sitting with his back to the viewer, on a grassy hill. The boy's pose is relaxed and casual, with his head resting on his hand. The loose brushstrokes of the painting give it a sense of movement and energy, while the muted colors create a sense of peacefulness. Roerich was a Russian painter known for his romantic and mystical paintings, often featuring themes of nature and spirituality. This painting is a good example of his early work, with its focus on the simple beauty of everyday life.
