Jamini Roy's mastery over the techniques of the great European painters led him to paint local landscapes and life of local peasants using tempera and wash techniques. 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 a Santhal woman looking for her shadow in the water, rendered with the shades of oil colours in tonal variation delineating the forms and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
