The artwork, titled “Pir Panjal,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1925. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is a landscape genre piece. This particular artwork is part of the “Pir Panjal” series.
The artwork presents a majestic depiction of snow-clad mountains, characterized by sharp, angular lines and a tranquil palette of blues and whites. The mountains dominate the composition, exuding a sense of grandeur and serenity. Roerich’s rendering captures the imposing and serene nature of the peaks, with subtle details hinting at the textures of snow and rock. The lower portion of the artwork includes darkened, perhaps forested, landscapes that contrast with the bright and crisp depiction of the high ridges, enhancing the overall sense of elevation and scale.
