The artwork, titled “Mongolian Yurtas,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1936. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The painting depicts a serene landscape featuring traditional Mongolian yurtas nestled against an expansive backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains under a wide sky. The scene is rendered in muted earth tones, with soft, blended colors conveying a sense of tranquility and harmony. The yurtas, small and seemingly fragile, stand in quiet contrast to the vast, undulating scenery, symbolizing the connection between human dwellings and the natural world.
