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. In this particular sketch, Roy has depicted the sketch of a ‘Hayagreeva’, the horse headed incarnation of the Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. Rendered with the fluid, fine lines of pencil in an idiom inspired by the folk art of the Bengal region.
