The artwork, titled “Foreign Lords,” was created by the artist Nicholas Roerich in 1907. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is a genre painting. Currently, this piece is housed in a private collection.
In the artwork, a dark and somber interior scene is depicted, likely representing the inside of a historical or religious building. The emphasis on vertical lines is evident with the tall windows and intricate wall designs. The windows are adorned with vivid-colored religious or historical motifs, replete with ornate details. The figures in the lower part of the painting, shrouded in dark robes, contribute to the overall mysterious ambiance, appearing as silhouettes against the luminous backdrop.
