Dwelling of Gunding 1907

"Dwelling of Gunding" is a 1907 drawing by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947), now held at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The work depicts a mystical interior space, perhaps a temple or a sacred dwelling. The composition is dominated by a large, gnarled tree, its branches reaching towards the roof of the structure. The interior is dimly lit, with the only light coming from a doorway at the far end, suggesting a sense of mystery and hidden knowledge. Roerich is known for his mystical and symbolic art, often drawing inspiration from Eastern philosophy and mythology.
