The artwork, titled “The scene with eight figures in costumes,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1913. It is a piece from the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of design.
In this artwork, Roerich depicts eight figures dressed in elaborate and colorful traditional costumes, suggestive of ethnic or regional attire. The figures are arranged in a line, and their garments are adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant hues. The scene is painted in a stylized manner characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, with emphasis on decorative detail and fluid lines. The backdrop of the artwork is subtly rendered, allowing the focus to remain on the vivid costumes and the figures’ serene expressions, encapsulating a moment of cultural or ritualistic significance.
