Waiting 1941

"Waiting," a 1941 painting by Nicholas Roerich, depicts a solitary figure seated on a rocky outcrop by a vast body of water. The figure gazes out at a horizon dominated by dramatic, purple-hued clouds against a fiery orange sky. The composition evokes a sense of isolation and contemplation, emphasizing the grandeur of nature and the human experience within it. This work reflects Roerich's fascination with the spiritual significance of landscapes and the enduring power of human resilience.
