It is interesting to see from the hundreds of sketches and drawings in the NGMA collection, how Roy broke down the figure to the essential form that goes into its making and then synthesised it to suggest a structure. In this particular are shown three men bearing religious markings on their forehead of the Vaishnavite sect. The sketches are evidences that Jamini Roy made meticulous sketches and drawings in great detail before undertaking a painting and that he chose to narrate imagery drawn from the village life, be it the peasants, artisans, followers of religious cults, women, etc.
