Jamini Roy (1887–1972) – Ravana In Procession, Oil On Canvas.
A bold and rhythmic composition attributed to Jamini Roy, depicting Ravana with multiple stylised heads and a dynamic stance, rendered in the artist’s distinctive folk-inspired manner. The figure is outlined in strong black lines and set against a vivid red ground, accompanied by a chariot scene and a bird-like figure, all arranged with flattened perspective and decorative symmetry. The surface features repeating motifs, floral elements, and geometric borders in earthy tones of blue, white, and ochre, characteristic of Roy’s reinterpretation of Bengali folk traditions.
