The setting sun 1925

Konstantin Bogaevsky's "The Setting Sun" (1925) is a striking black and white pencil drawing that captures the drama of a sunset over a seascape. The sun, hidden behind the clouds, radiates light in a starburst pattern, creating a powerful sense of energy and movement. The clouds, rendered with detailed hatches, add a sense of depth and texture to the scene. The silhouetted trees in the foreground add scale and a sense of peace to the composition, creating a balance between the drama of the sky and the tranquility of the landscape. Bogaevsky's meticulous attention to detail and skilled use of light and shadow create a compelling and atmospheric drawing.
