Study of mountains 

This landscape painting, possibly a study for a larger work, is by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, known for his mystical and symbolic depictions of nature. The artwork features a simplified, almost geometric mountain range against a vast blue sky, hinting at a sense of grandeur and awe. The use of color and shape, characteristic of Roerich's style, creates a sense of serenity and spiritual connection with the natural world. This piece likely reflects his fascination with the Himalayas and their cultural significance.
