The artwork, titled “Lahaul Mountains,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1931. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork consists of a minimalistic and delicate depiction of mountain peaks, executed with simple yet effective pencil lines. The mountains appear abstract, with their sharp, triangular shapes emerging from the gentle slopes. The use of light, almost sparse, sketching renders a sense of tranquility and vastness associated with the high-altitude landscapes. The unembellished nature of the artwork captures the raw and majestic beauty of the Lahaul region’s mountainous terrain.
