Polovtsian camp 1914

"Polovtsian Camp" is a 1914 artwork by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic paintings. The black and white sketch depicts a scene of a nomad camp with yurts and a dramatic cloudy sky. Roerich's artistic style often combined realism with symbolism, capturing the essence of a place through evocative imagery. This particular work, likely inspired by his travels and interest in ancient cultures, reflects the nomadic lifestyle and the vastness of the steppes, a recurring theme in his work.
