Nicola 1916

"Nicola" is a pencil sketch created by Nicholas Roerich in 1916. The artwork depicts a landscape with a prominent structure in the center, possibly a building or a monument, surrounded by trees and other elements. The sketch is characterized by loose lines and a sense of spontaneity, highlighting Roerich's artistic style and his use of suggestive lines to convey depth and form. The composition suggests an architectural subject matter, a common theme in Roerich's works, often inspired by his travels and interests in ancient cultures and landscapes. This sketch, now part of the collection of the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, offers a glimpse into the creative process of a renowned artist.
