    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 particular sketch of horse must have served as a prelude to the beautiful painting titled 'Black Horse' (Accession No. 79).
