Kneeling warriors (Study of murals for the chapel in Pskov) 1914

"Kneeling warriors (Study of murals for the chapel in Pskov)" is a study for a mural by Nicholas Roerich, created in 1914. Depicting a scene from a medieval story, the artwork features a group of warriors kneeling before a religious figure, likely a saint or a higher power. The background features a cityscape with architectural elements typical of Pskov, a city in Russia, suggesting the location of the story. Sadly, the mural was destroyed, leaving only this study as a glimpse into Roerich's artistic vision and interest in Russian history and spirituality.
