The artwork titled “Sketch of man with bugle,” created by Nicholas Roerich circa 1902, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified within the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork features a man standing in a coastal landscape, playing a bugle. The scene is drawn with graphite on what appears to be plain paper, capturing a simplistic yet evocative depiction of the subject and his surroundings. The setting includes a shoreline with rocks and water, with the horizon line extending into the distance. The minimalist approach, characteristic of a sketch, allows for a focus on form and composition rather than intricate detail, embodying the stylistic elements of the Art Nouveau movement.
