Etude “Glacier on the road from Kashmir to Ladakh” develops the theme of power and solemn beauty of the mountains.
Descending from the icy heights between the spurs of mountain giants, the coils of an icy river can be appreciated on their own merits when you compare them with figures of horsemen climbing along the stone rock trail, barely noticeable in the left corner of the canvas.
