    The sketches and drawings of Jamini Roy point to the artist’s imagination that grapples with manifest details of a visual idea for a painting. It is from the sketches and drawings that we see the artist’s diverse experiments with form. In this particular sketch, Roy has depicted the sculptural representation of a Kinner, rendered with the fluid, fine lines of pen and ink in an idiom inspired by the folk art of the Bengal region.
