Temple in Skvernitsy 1909

This simple line drawing, created in 1909 by Nicholas Roerich, depicts a Russian Orthodox temple. The composition focuses on the building's architectural details, emphasizing its ornate domes and cross-topped spires. The artist's choice of black ink against a white background underscores the monumentality of the structure. The image reflects Roerich's interest in capturing the essence of ancient Russian culture, particularly its religious traditions, and his distinctive style.
