The artwork, titled “Terem of Kikimora,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1910. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified within the genre of design.
The artwork depicts a richly decorated interior that appears to be of a rustic, folklore-inspired dwelling. The scene is composed of intricate wooden carvings that adorn columns, beams, and archways, showcasing elaborate and mythical motifs. The central column is particularly detailed, featuring elaborate carvings of fantastical creatures and patterns. The walls are similarly ornate, suggesting a setting steeped in mythology and tradition. The presence of human and semi-human figures in the detailed carvings and designs evokes a sense of enchantment and storytelling. The carefully arranged elements within the interior create a harmonious yet fantastical environment, indicative of Roerich’s unique artistic vision and his ability to blend cultural elements with imaginative design.
