Ugadyvatel clades (sketch) # 164 Roerich N.K. (Part 6)

The drawing presents a landscape dominated by a cascading waterfall that plunges into an unseen basin. The composition is structured around this central element, with rocky formations framing the waters descent on either side. These rocks are rendered in shades of blue and purple, creating a sense of depth and imposing scale. Above them, a suggestion of snow-capped peaks emerges through the atmospheric perspective, contributing to the overall feeling of vastness and remoteness.
The artist employed a limited palette, primarily relying on cool tones – blues, purples, and whites – to evoke a somber and contemplative mood. The waterfall itself is depicted with fluid, sweeping lines in varying shades of blue, suggesting movement and energy within an otherwise still scene. A cluster of vibrant red forms occupies the lower right corner; these appear as stylized shapes, possibly representing foliage or abstract elements that contrast sharply with the cool tones dominating the rest of the composition.
The stark black border surrounding the image isolates the landscape, intensifying its sense of detachment and emphasizing its symbolic weight. The absence of human presence contributes to a feeling of solitude and introspection. One might interpret this as an exploration of natures power and indifference, or perhaps a meditation on themes of isolation and contemplation within a grand, impersonal world. The red forms introduce a note of mystery; their placement and abstract quality suggest they could represent something vital yet elusive – perhaps hope, passion, or even danger – existing alongside the overwhelming force of the natural environment.
