About this work

A large open book fills the foreground of this painting, its pages filled with script, while two robed figures stand beside it. Behind them rises a golden church with onion domes and a central icon, surrounded by fortified buildings and a crowd of people, under a dramatic sky with white doves. This print by Nicholas Roerich, dated 1922, is titled Golubinaya kniga.
