The artwork titled “Tibet. Himalayas.” was created by Nicholas Roerich. It is crafted using cardboard and tempera, and it belongs to the Symbolism art movement. This landscape piece is housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum located in New York City, NY, US.

The mountains are depicted in layered shades of blue, violet, and beige, giving a sense of depth and tranquility. In the foreground, there are indications of structures, possibly ancient forts or monasteries, rendered in simple, geometric forms with accents of vivid orange and purple, suggesting their historical and cultural significance.
