The sketches and drawings of Jamini Roy point to the artist's diverse experiment with form. The sketches are certainly prototypes for some of his paintings. The sketches are also evidences of the artist's efforts and attempts through his long career to arrive at his unique style of painting using simple, pure forms. This monochromatic sketch executed using earth red colour is that of a Mother and child. Jamini Roy has painted numerous paintings with this theme and the sketch could probably have served as a prototype for one of the paintings.
