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. This work represents an instance of the artist's exploration of everyday life of rural Bengal, particularly the women of the Aboriginal Santhal community. It depicts a stylized, crouching female figure. The artist has chosen a rough and uneven surface and used bold black strokes in the style of Kalighat paintings. Also, the artist has used lamp black taken from the bottom of a kettle to draw the figure. The use of flat lines and contours is reminiscent of Matisse's silhouetted Odalisques.
