The artwork, titled “Snow Maiden,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in the year 1921. It is a part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of design.
In the artwork, one can observe a solitary figure of a woman dressed in a traditional Russian attire, standing against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The figure, presumably the Snow Maiden, wears a long, intricately patterned garment that is both regal and evocative of Russian folklore. The composition features earthy tones combined with vibrant blues and golds, symbolically merging the terrestrial with the celestial. In the distance, the artwork depicts ornate domed structures indicative of Russian architecture, lending an additional layer of cultural authenticity and depth. The luminescent quality of the clouds and the meticulous detailing of the attire highlight the distinctive style and refined technique characteristic of Nicholas Roerich’s body of work.
