“Oze,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1912, is an artwork associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork depicts a figure of an elderly woman, adorned in a multicolored, vertically striped dress. She stands with a slightly hunched posture, supported by a walking stick held in her right hand. Her expression is serene yet marked with the weariness of age. She wears a shawl draped over her shoulders, predominantly green, complementing the vibrant red of her sleeves. Her hair is white and flows gently over her shoulders, with a small cap perched atop her head. The background of the artwork is minimalist, emphasizing the figure’s detailed attire and expression. The style reflects Roerich’s characteristic blend of intricate design and thematic depth, embodying the Art Nouveau movement’s aesthetic principles.
