Shirak 1925

"Shirak" is a pencil sketch by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian, completed in 1925. The artwork depicts a rural scene with a figure plowing a field in the foreground, while mountains rise in the background. Sarian is known for his vibrant depictions of Armenian landscapes and peasantry, and "Shirak" exemplifies his use of expressive lines and simplified forms to capture the essence of his subject matter. The artwork is considered to be a notable example of Sarian's signature style, which combines elements of Impressionism, Symbolism, and Armenian folk art.
