This small painting, "Dancing (Horovod)" by Nicholas Roerich, depicts a traditional Russian folk dance known as a "horovod," with a group of women in white dresses forming a circle and dancing. The painting, created in 1903, showcases Roerich's interest in Russian folklore and culture, using a stylized and somewhat abstract technique, with a limited palette and bold outlines. The painting is housed in the Bashkirian State Museum of Fine Arts (Nesterov Museum) in Ufa, Russia.
