專家說明


The Depsang Plains are a high-altitude region of current-day Kashmir, which is divided into areas of Indian and Chinese administration. The name ‘Depsang’ means ‘open, elevated plain’ in Tibetan. Nicholas Roerich painted numerous versions of the area during his Asian exhibition in the second half of the 1920s.
