"Daughters of Earth" is a 1919 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist and explorer. The painting depicts a group of women in flowing garments, gathered in a shadowy cave beneath dramatic, craggy cliffs. The scene is dominated by a vibrant purple and pink sky filled with thick clouds, suggesting an impending storm. Roerich's painting, known for its symbolism and mystical qualities, likely evokes themes of femininity, nature, and spiritual awakening. "Daughters of Earth" is currently on display at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.
