Über das Werk
Jamini Roy (1887-1972) was one of the most important artists of the modern period in India, drawing on the popular and folk traditions of rural Bengal for his inspiration. Jamini sought to define an authentic modern Indian art; he therefore travelled through Bengali countryside studying folk painting traditions. He developed his own personal style which was characterised by bold lines and flat use of colour.
This sketch is one of a series in the V&A collection which show his experimentation with different subject matter. Here the artist has depicted a theme related to the everyday life of rural Bengal. This simple line drawing in blue ink shows a figure riding on a horse. The horse's head is elongated to emphasise proximity. Both figures have exaggerated fish-eyes, a characteristic feature of Jamini Roy's style.
