There are touches of irony, playfulness and whimsy in the paintings of birds and beasts that Jamini Roy did even as he stylised them in pure forms. The playful sense of intimacy always comes as a pleasing surprise. This painting titled 'Black Horse' is one of the best paintings in the collection of the museum. The strong element of fantasy is enhanced by the use of rich Indian red in the background even as the artist has drawn the stylised horse using minimalist form.
