Siena. The square. 1912

"Siena. The square" is a 1912 drawing by Russian artist Pyotr Konchalovsky. The work depicts a cityscape, likely in Siena, Italy, with an emphasis on the square's converging lines and perspective. The artist’s simplified and geometric style suggests a connection to Cubism, while the subject matter echoes the traditions of urban landscape painting. The work's simplicity of form and line gives it a sense of modernity, characteristic of early 20th-century art. Konchalovsky's drawing conveys both the architectural structure of the city and the feeling of human activity within it.
