Jamini Roy has painted simple village scenes and familiar village characters like the blacksmith, a group of Santal dancers, a baul singer, a cat with a lobster. He must have felt a sense of elation at finding his way back home because one observes an expression of joyous exuberance as he had found a way to communicate with the people. This particular work is a detailed sketch of man whose painting the artist might have made or could have been a study of the head. Jamini Roy made meticulous sketches and drawings in great detail before undertaking a painting.
