The artwork, titled “Pir Panjal,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1925. Rendered on canvas using tempera, it belongs to the Symbolism art movement and measures 56 x 84 cm. This piece is part of the “Pir Panjal” series and depicts a landscape, currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork presents a serene and mystical portrayal of the Pir Panjal mountain range. The use of tempera on canvas results in a rich texture that brings out the contrasting hues and the intricacies of the snow-covered peaks. The dominant palette of whites, blues, and muted greens captures the cold majesty of the mountains. The artist employs bold, sweeping strokes to define the rugged landscape, instilling a sense of grandeur and tranquility, characteristic of Roerich’s Symbolist approach.
