Here is one of the most beautiful study i have come to know. It is
the only study to be awarded 4/4 by three judges in the FIDE album
of 1986-88; it also won 1st prize in a tournament (Chakhmati v SSSR),
it is by V.Anoufriev & B.Goussev. It is not only beautiful with respect
to its elegant answer, but also to its very few pieces (just 7 in total)
making it an endgame beauty.

White: Kg7, Bh2, Ph7, Pg6
Black: Kd4, Ba1, Pa2

White to play and draw

It seems to be beyond *my* program's ability to solve. Anybody?
