The artwork titled “Giantess Krimgerd” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1915. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a serene coastal scene populated with various rock formations and a body of calm water. Central to the composition is a large rock formation resembling a face, which gives a sense of anthropomorphic presence. A small boat with figures paddling is also present in the foreground, suggesting a human interaction with this natural, yet eerily lifelike, landscape. The choice of sepia tones lends a timeless and contemplative quality to the piece, aligning with the Symbolist movement’s focus on conveying deeper emotional or mystical experiences.
