From 1924 onwards, Jamini Roy experimented with a new idiom. It was clear that he was looking for ways to simplify form. His images for the most part became monochromatic - an austere play of white, soft grey and black. With a masterly control of the brush, he created contours of the form with fluid, calligraphic lines. Roy, during this phase painted seated female forms, mother and child figures, bauls, leaping deer and crawling infants.
