By the edge 1915

"By the Edge" (1915) by Nicholas Roerich is a watercolor painting depicting a solitary figure in a traditional garment standing at the edge of a vast landscape. The figure is dwarfed by the immense, swirling clouds above, conveying a sense of awe and the immensity of the natural world. Roerich's style, often characterized by a blend of realism and symbolism, is evident in this work. The painting evokes a sense of spiritual connection and the vastness of the human experience, themes prevalent in Roerich's artistic output.
