Sull’opera
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 picture depicts the profile of a standing sari-clad woman. Her head is turned to the right while her raised arms hold a dish in the gesture of making an offering and are pointed to the left of the picture frame. She has an enormous fish eye which has no pupil and wears a big earring. The artist has used blue ink on a cream coloured paper.
