This watercolour relates to an oil, Zhdut (They wait), painted by Roerich in 1900 and formerly in the collection of G. Fuchs. A later variation of the composition, painted in 1901, was subsequently destroyed and is known only from a reproduction (see Iu. Baltrushaitis et al., Rerikh, Petrograd, 1916, p. 24).
