“Russian Hut,” an artwork created by Nicholas Roerich in 1919, is an exemplar of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This artwork belongs to the interior genre.
The artwork depicts the interior of a traditional Russian hut. Dominated by warm, earthy tones, the scene is intricately detailed with elements such as wooden beams, decorated fabrics, and a spinning wheel. A large window in the background allows light to filter into the cozy room, illuminating the space and revealing a blue, twilight sky outside. The layout and the objects within the artwork create a sense of domestic tranquility and timeless tradition, characteristic of Russian rural life.
