The artwork, titled “Crows” and created by Nicholas Roerich circa 1905, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of animal painting.
The artwork features a circular composition prominently displaying two crows rendered in a stylized and graphic manner, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. The crows are depicted with a high contrast of black against a white background, emphasizing their form and the space they occupy. Their elongated, curvilinear shapes complement the naturalistic yet ornamental quality typical of Art Nouveau. The simplicity and boldness of the lines contribute a sense of elegance and fluidity to the overall piece.
