Kalmyk lama is a 1869 unspecified by Vasily Vereshchagin, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting depicts a Kalmyk lama sitting on a horse, wearing a yellow robe and a red sash. The lama is holding a stick in his right hand, and his left hand is resting on the horse's neck. The horse is black with a long mane and tail. The background of the painting is a plain white wall. The lama's face is serene, with a gentle expression. He is looking straight ahead, and his eyes seem to be focused on something in the distance. The horse is also calm, with its ears perked up and its head held high. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
