The artwork depicts a serene and mystical landscape, characterized by towering rock formations that stand solemnly against a backdrop of tranquil azure skies. The hues of the rocks, ranging from deep browns to soft beiges, contrast harmoniously with the blue and purple tones of the distant mountains and the sky. A hint of white cloud floats above, contributing to the ethereal ambiance of the scene. Roerich’s brushstrokes convey a sense of stillness and reverence, evoking the spiritual and meditative qualities associated with the representation of Maitreya, a significant figure in Buddhist tradition. The composition and colors reflect the symbolic and spiritual aspirations of Roerich’s artistic vision.
