Jamini Roy (1887–1972), A Folk Style Composition with Deities and Attendants, Watercolour on Paper.

A vibrant composition rendered in the distinctive folk-inspired style associated with Jamini Roy, depicting a central seated figure holding a child figure, flanked by stylised attendants. The figures are outlined in bold black lines and filled with flat areas of saturated colour including ochre, green, red, and yellow. The central figure is seated upon a stylised animal form with elongated body and decorative patterning, while a secondary figure stands to the right in a frontal pose. The background is a rich earthy tone, punctuated with simple symbolic motifs. The work is enclosed within a bordered frame, emphasising the strong graphic quality and balanced composition.
