About Study to "Flying Carpet"

The artwork titled “Study to ‘Flying Carpet'” was created by artist Nicholas Roerich in the year 1915. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork features a light, minimalistic sketch presumably rendered in pencil or a similar medium. It portrays two figures seemingly riding on flying carpets, gracefully suspended in mid-air. The figures are simplified and somewhat abstract, with fluid, sweeping lines that convey the sense of motion and floating. The background consists of faint, barely discernible forms that subtly suggest an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere. Overall, the artwork captures an imaginative and fantastical theme, embodying Roerich’s fascination with mystical and transcendent subjects.
