About this work

A painted scene by Nicholas Roerich shows a mounted, chainmail-clad warrior with a golden halo thrusting a long spear toward an armored rider whose round shield bears heraldic lions and crowns. Medieval-style ships with patterned sails sit on a river in the background, and a crowd of soldiers surrounds the figures.
