Giantess Krimgerd 1918

"Giantess Krimgerd" (1918) is a pencil drawing by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist known for his mystical and symbolic landscapes. This artwork depicts a fantastical scene with a large, anthropomorphic rock formation resembling a sleeping giantess surrounded by smaller rocks and a lone boat. The drawing's minimal detail and muted tones create a sense of mystery and solitude, suggesting the vastness and power of nature. Roerich's work often explored themes of ancient civilizations, spirituality, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
