"Lhasa" is a 1942 painting by Nicholas Roerich, a renowned Russian artist and explorer. The artwork depicts a majestic landscape of the Tibetan capital Lhasa, characterized by towering mountains, a serene lake, and the city's iconic Potala Palace. Roerich’s signature style is evident in the simplified forms, rich colors, and mystical atmosphere. This painting exemplifies Roerich's interest in Eastern spirituality and his travels to Asia, which inspired many of his works.
