From the end 1920s, Jamini Roy had rejected the European oil medium and began to use traditional pigments from vegetable and mineral sources. The imagery too was drawn from village life. He painted from folk tales and narratives that permeated the rural consciousness. This monochromatic sketch of a deity with a bow illustrates these visual elements and influences.
