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. 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. The image depicts the full-figure profile of a stylized warrior with goatee beard. He appears to be wearing armour and carrying a shield. The drawing is executed in blue pen and ink on cream-coloured paper.
