Sketch of galley 1919

"Sketch of galley" is a simple pencil sketch on paper created in 1919 by Nicholas Roerich, a renowned Russian artist known for his mystical and spiritual themes. The sketch portrays a ship with a large sail, a figure in the upper left corner, and a bird-like figure in the lower left corner. Roerich's use of line and light creates a sense of movement and dynamism in the composition. This sketch demonstrates the artist's interest in exploring themes of travel, exploration, and the power of nature, which are prevalent in his later paintings.
