Before Jamini Roy evolved his individualistic idiom of simplified forms, he created artworks that were inspired by child art. In the NGMA collection there are examples of this style. This finished drawing titled 'Icarus' (Accession No.-3076) is a character in Greek mythology who wanted to construct wings so that he can fly. Another example work inspired by child art is a sketch of a hybrid bird-man (Accession 3046).
