White Lady 1919

"White Lady" (1919) by Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) is a painting that uses a simplified, almost cubist style to depict a mysterious scene. An arched passageway leads to a building with windows and a courtyard, all viewed through a distorted, symbolic lens. The lone figure in the foreground, clad in white, adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Roerich's work often featured themes of spirituality and mysticism, and "White Lady" embodies these elements with its atmospheric and suggestive imagery.
