There is a strong element of fantasy in the richly saturated palette that Jamini Roy creates from a limited range of vegetable, mineral and earth colours. The bright colours and flat forms demolish the boundaries of naturalism and lend a playful mood to the depiction. This particular sketch is a portrait of a man smoking cigarette executed with the masterly control brush strokes in oil colours delineating the contours and highlighting his facial features.
