Nicholas Roerich's 1927 "Tibetian Lama" captures the solemn serenity of a Tibetan spiritual leader. The painting's stylized, almost icon-like, composition reflects Roerich's fascination with Eastern cultures and spirituality, which he encountered during his extensive travels through Asia. This artwork is a testament to Roerich's distinctive style, a blend of realism and symbolism, which is often characterized by vibrant colors and bold strokes.
