About the painting
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. The work represents an instance of the artist's exploration of everyday life of rural Bengal, particularly the women of the Aboriginal Santhal community. The work depicts a highly stylised standing female figure executed in bold black strokes. The artist has used lamp black, taken from the bottom of a kettle to draw the figure. The figure seen in profile has one arm raised and a very large eye.
