Figures of elders 1896

"Figures of Elders" is a dynamic drawing by Nicholas Roerich from 1896. The artwork depicts a group of figures, possibly elders, with expressive lines and a sense of movement. The work's powerful composition and use of chiaroscuro highlight the figures' presence amidst a dark and somewhat mysterious background. This piece, characteristic of Roerich's early style, showcases his interest in capturing the human condition and the spiritual essence of individuals.
