The artwork depicts two figures dressed in elaborate costumes, showcasing intricate patterns and textures typical of traditional Russian attire. The figures are adorned with ornate, geometrically-patterned garments, featuring detailed embroidery, floral motifs, and symbolic designs. Each figure wears a distinctive headpiece that complements their costume, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic style of the period. The monochromatic sketch highlights the sophistication and meticulousness of Roerich’s design work for theatrical costumes, blending artistic creativity with historical and cultural influences.
