Nicholas Roerich. Пророк (Магомет на горе Хира). Image source: WikiArt. Source rights label: Public domain. https://www.wikiart.org/en/nicholas-roerich/mohammed-on-mount-hira-1925. Collected under the user's explicit WikiArt source approval of 6 October 2026; this approval is separate from the source's rights assertion. Full-frame proportional resize and JPEG compression. WikiArt records 1925; the existing catalogue retains 1938. Exact source object and creator IDs match; both recorded intervals are within the pre-1971 scope. No catalogue dates were rewritten. Exact native Ж-7104 composition: white-robed standing figure with round head covering on a projecting rocky ledge, small pale rectangular object to the right, steep diagonal blue rock wall, pink luminous form above, and the same individual background peak and foreground rock contours agree. Select the first, darker blue/pink reproduction. Its WikiArt date 1925 differs from native/catalogue 1938 and is preserved separately. Both Prophet alternatives show different mountain arrangements and broader valleys, one with a crescent moon; they are different versions. Preserve the complete supplied frame and source colour. Individual English-title concordance for native Ж-7104: WikiArt 'Mohammed on mount Hira' and catalogue 'Пророк (Магомет на горе Хира)'. Exact creator, pinned source and native object, and separately recorded visual comparison establish this version. The source Original Title field and untranslated index title remain absent; no original-language title is invented.
