The artwork, named “Rio-Grande,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1921 in the United States. It represents the Symbolism art movement and belongs to the landscape genre.
In the depiction, the artwork portrays a series of undulating hills and a distant plateau under an expansive, lightly hued sky. The terrain is painted in a palette of muted earth tones, accentuating the natural contours and textures of the landscape. The foreground features a calm expanse of water, presumably the Rio Grande, reflecting the subdued colors of the terrain. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and timelessness, characteristic of the Symbolism movement.
