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. In this sketch, he has depicted people with their horses boarding a ship for voyage. Rendered with the fluid, fine lines of pen and ink in an idiom inspired by the folk art of the Bengal region.
