    Jamini Roy's mastery over the techniques of the great European painters led him to paint local landscapes and animals using tempera and wash technique. Interestingly, he continued to show these European style landscapes and animals drawing along with his newly-evolved folk style. In this particular painting, he has depicted Stella Kramrisch giving lecture to the audience in a hall, rendered with dabs and dashes of watercolour adding grace and vigour to the composition.
