"And We See," painted in 1922 by Nicholas Roerich, is a striking example of his unique style that combined religious iconography with a distinctly modern aesthetic. The painting features a prominent depiction of the face of Jesus Christ, set against a backdrop of stylized architectural forms and a vibrant palette of colors. The central figure of Jesus dominates the composition, while the background suggests a mystical cityscape, possibly inspired by Roerich's travels to Russia and Asia. The artwork reflects the artist's interest in spiritual themes and the synthesis of Eastern and Western artistic traditions. It is currently housed in the Roerich Museum in Moscow, Russia.
