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. The imagery was drawn from village life. He painted from folk tales and narratives that permeated the rural consciousness. This shketch has been divided into two parts, the above part is showing Lord Shiva sitting on his Vahan Nandi while on the lower panel Lord Shiva has been depicted with his wife Parvati and son Ganehsa. Rendered with the fluid, fine lines of pen and ink in an idiom inspired by the folk art of the Bengal region.
