The artwork, titled “Nubra Valley,” was created by Nicholas Roerich around the year 1926. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and represents a landscape genre.
The artwork captures a serene and majestic depiction of Nubra Valley, framed by imposing mountain ranges and characterized by a calm river winding through the valley. The muted color palette of blues, beiges, and sandstone tones evokes a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Roerich’s use of soft, blended brushstrokes creates a dreamlike quality, with the sky exhibiting wisps of clouds that seem to merge with the silhouettes of the distant mountains. By incorporating subtle light and shadow, Roerich emphasizes the grandeur and mystical appeal of the natural landscape.
