The artwork entitled “Father Frost” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in 1912. Executed using tempera on paper, it belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 24.5 by 15.5 cm, and it is categorized within the design genre.
In the artwork, a figure is depicted against a solid blue background. The central character, presumably Father Frost, is dressed in a detailed and elaborately designed white robe adorned with intricate patterns and motifs. The figure’s long white beard and hair blend seamlessly with the robe, creating a flowing and ethereal presentation. The character wears a distinguished headpiece, further accentuating the regal and mystical attributes. The hands and feet are equally adorned, with the boots and gloves showcasing complementary designs, reinforcing the artwork’s cohesive and ornate aesthetic. The overall mood of the artwork conveys a sense of grandeur and the mythical, consistent with the themes often explored in Roerich’s works.
