The artwork, titled “Mongolia. Chakhar hills,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1936. This landscape falls within the Symbolism art movement, featuring the vast and serene Chakhar Hills in Mongolia.
The artwork portrays a tranquil and expansive landscape where rolling hills are captured under a vast sky. The hills stretch across the lower part of the composition, depicted in shades of blue and muted purples, which give a sense of the vastness and subtle mystery of the terrain. The sky, comprising much of the painting, displays soft, blending hues of beige and light blue, with clouds gently sweeping across it. The simplicity and delicate color palette evoke a sense of peace and timelessness, reflecting the symbolic essence often found in Roerich’s work.
