"Daughter of Viking" is a 1918 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic landscapes. This particular work depicts a lone female figure, possibly a Valkyrie, standing atop a hill overlooking a vast, misty expanse of mountains. The painting is filled with ethereal colors, such as soft blues and greens, and the woman's presence contributes to a sense of contemplation and wonder, a common theme in Roerich's work. The painting is currently housed in the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow, Russia.
