This work depicts the famous Dalai Lama's Potala Palace in Lhasa. Creating the series of "The Tibetan Path", the artist embodied in the graphic his long-standing dream: to visit the sanctuary Lhasa. In 1924, planning his future trip to Tibet, N. Roerich used, as the primary source of the Lhasa's views, the photographs that had already become very popular in the West, taken by members of the Younghusband's British military expedition to Tibet in 1904. In their nature, these works of N.K. Roerich definitely differ from the sheets of his travel album, repeating the perspective of the British expedition photos, and they should be regarded as a kind of tribute to the great city.
