The artwork titled “Coast near Ledenets” was created by Nicholas Roerich in the year 1919. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and falls within the genre of sketch and study.
In the artwork, a minimalist and rough sketch is presented, capturing an abstract representation of a coastal scene. The lines are sparse and simple, providing a basic outline of the rocky landscape and distant forms. The composition suggests a serene and perhaps desolate shoreline, rendered with the intention of studying the forms and contours of the natural environment. The monochromatic use of pencil on paper emphasizes the structural elements of the coastal geography.
