The sketches of Jamini Roy give evidence to the distinctive way in which the artist structured his figures. Each figure is created by assembling a set of body parts which are broken down into simple forms only to be reclaimed as a whole. The folk vision of Bengal’s arts and crafts traditions also influenced Jamini Roy’s works. This quick preliminary sketch by the artist depicts the evil king, Ravana from the epic of Ramayana. The sharp, incisive lines reveal Roy's masterly control over form.
