"Seda. Church." is a 1933 ink drawing by the Russian artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky (1875-1957). The drawing depicts a stone church with a wooden belfry in the foreground. The scene is rendered in a linear style typical of Dobuzhinsky’s work, with fine lines emphasizing the architectural details. The drawing is a fine example of the artist’s use of line to capture the essence of a place and its atmosphere. It is housed in the Lithuanian Art Museum in Vilnius.
