This sketch shows a winding path cutting through rolling, snow-covered hills. The ground is patchy with bare rock and thin snow, while the distant mountains fade into a pale, misty blue. A single dark tree stands alone near the path’s edge. The artist used soft, smudged lines to suggest movement in the landscape, almost like a quick sketch. The light is gentle, avoiding harsh shadows. Look up Roerich, Nicholas to see more of his work.
