About Tents

The artwork titled “Tents,” created by Nicholas Roerich circa 1909, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified within the genre of sketch and study. This artwork presents a meticulous pencil sketch depicting a cluster of tents, possibly arranged in a camp or settlement, rendered with rhythmic and dynamic lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.

In the artwork, several conical tents are illustrated, each adorned with simple yet expressive patterns. The tents occupy the foreground, while a large, curved form in the center background, potentially representing a landscape or natural formation, adds depth to the composition. Sparse figures are subtly integrated within the scene, contributing to the sense of scale and context. The form and layout of the sketch demonstrate Roerich’s keen attention to structural harmony and his ability to convey a coherent scene with minimalistic yet evocative pencil strokes.
