Snow maiden 1938

"Snow Maiden" (1938) by Nicholas Roerich depicts a woman seated on a rocky outcrop in a mountainous landscape. The scene is dominated by vast, snow-covered peaks, with the woman dwarfed by the imposing natural world. Roerich, known for his mystical and symbolist works, frequently used the Himalayas as a setting for his paintings, exploring themes of spirituality and the relationship between humanity and nature. The painting is a testament to the artist's enduring fascination with the power and beauty of the natural world.
