The artwork titled “Boundary of Kingdoms” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1915. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork presents an evocative representation of a mountainous landscape delineating the barriers between different realms. Rendered in a monochromatic scheme, the sketch captures a rugged terrain where the peaks and valleys are meticulously detailed. Figures shrouded in cloaks stand solemnly on the rocky summits, suggesting a scene heavy with mystique and significance. Through the use of sharp lines and varying shades, Roerich masterfully conveys the imposing nature of the mountainous boundary, imbuing the sketch with a sense of grandeur and otherworldliness.
