"Monhegan (study)" is a 1922 pencil sketch by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, known for his landscape paintings and exploration of spirituality in art. This particular piece captures the rugged beauty of Monhegan Island, a popular artistic destination in Maine, with its distinct cliff formations and layered textures. The expressive lines and shading of the drawing evoke a sense of the island's dramatic topography.
