It's not a beautiful study, but a very instructive one. It's quite amazing that a bishop can draw against a rook and a pawn!
I remember Edward Lasker (a relative of Emanuel Lasker) once said after drawing a rook + pawn vs. knight position against Alekhine (Alekhine had the defensive side): "I didn't know that a mere knight could draw against a rook and pawn!"

Interesting to hear Robert.
Comparing the R+K vs R and the R+B vs R shows that the knight has more problems to draw than the bishop party.
Do you perhaps have that game handy ? I just searched and can't find it.
I'm curious ! :)
Agreed with robert.
Nice Picture too.
Two endgame studies in 1 go.

By coincidence I found out today that an endgame study of Del Rio, appeared more than 200 years later in exactly the same position in a game of Botvinnik.
And there's a game and a study from Pal Benko which looks a bit like it as well, in mirrored and flipped form.
