The artwork titled “Sketch of costumes for ‘Snow Maiden'” was created by Nicholas Roerich, a distinguished artist associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. The genre of this artwork is design.
This artwork by Roerich depicts a figure clad in traditional costume, set against a backdrop suggestive of a rural, possibly winter scene. The figure is adorned in what appears to be folkloric attire, characterized by intricate patterns and layers that are indicative of cultural heritage. The use of bold lines and contrasts in the sketch conveys a sense of depth and detail, even in the monochromatic palette. The background features architectural elements that might hint at wooden structures, which complement the overall theme of traditional and rustic landscapes.
