    Even while Roy was working with the various indigenous themes, he was simultaneously copying from the works of the great European masters and the classical art styles. His studio must have been a laboratory where he would study the elements of composition and how the paint was applied. The artist was inspired by the Byzantine art and attempted to emulate the texture of the mosaics.
