The artwork titled “Boyarin and Boyarynia” by Nicholas Roerich, created in 1921, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized within the genre of design.
In the artwork, two figures are prominently presented, dressed in elaborate and traditional attire. The figure on the left, presumably the Boyarynia, is adorned in a richly decorated garment and headpiece, characteristic of Russian nobility, draped with a cloak that has intricate patterns and fur trimming. The figure on the right, likely the Boyarin, is also attired in luxurious and ornate clothing, featuring a long coat and a large fur hat, suggesting a status of high rank and nobility. The background of the artwork is minimalist, with a row of simplified houses and the abstract shapes suggestive of architecture, under a sky with soft, wave-like clouds. The overall composition and stylistic choices in this piece reflect the essence of the Art Nouveau movement, with its emphasis on detailed design and elegance.
