"River Chandra" is a 1931 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent Russian artist known for his landscape paintings and exploration of spiritual themes. The work depicts a serene mountain landscape, featuring a river winding through a valley and a dramatic cloud formation in the sky. Roerich's use of soft, muted tones and fluid brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility and evokes the beauty of nature. His work often reflected his travels to the Himalayas, as evident in the depiction of the Chandra River, a tributary of the Beas River in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
