"Untitled" (Mother and Child), Jamini Roy (1887–1972), Watercolour on Canvas.
A stylised composition depicting a central mother figure enveloping a child, flanked by two female attendants, rendered in the distinctive idiom associated with Jamini Roy. The figures are defined by bold black outlines, almond-shaped eyes, and flattened forms, set against a restrained yet vibrant palette dominated by green, red, ochre, and yellow. Decorative patterning across the garments and the rhythmic symmetry of the composition reflect Roy’s engagement with Bengali folk and Kalighat painting traditions.
Approximately 46.6 x 37cm (incl. frame)
