The series of images depicting the life of Jesus Christ is one of the most inventive styles in Jamini Roy's oeuvre. He brings to these divine figures both a sense of sacredness as well as a sense of intimacy. Here, the seated figure of Mary, the mother, with infant Christ on her lap is being hailed by worshippers and angels. Mary is framed by impressive architectural elements and the mood evoked is both celebratory and sacred. The figuration of the angels has the spontaneity of child art.
