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. Jamini Roy has portrayed cat and other feline forms in many of his paintings. These sketches must have served as a prelude to some of those paintings. Similarly the figure of a seated woman also occurs in his more famous paintings of Mother and Child.
