The large number of sketches and drawings in the NGMA collection give evidence of the distinctive way in which Jamini Roy structured his figures. Each figure is created by assembling a set of body parts which are broken down into simple forms only to be reclaimed as a whole. This sketch titled 'Woman' in the collection of NGMA strongly points that Jamini Roy chose to narrate imagery drawn from the village life, be it the peasants, artisans, followers of religious cults, women, etc. The artist 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.
