Jamini Roy (Indian, 1887-1972) Untitled (Mother & Child) printed lower right and edition 196/500 lower left serigraph on paper 52 x 35.3cm (20 1/2 x 13 7/8in). Footnotes: Provenance Archer Graphic Studio, Ahmedabad Jamini Roy's painting 'Mother and Child' is a remarkable portrayal of the profound bond between a mother and her child. Known for his iconic folk-inspired style, Roy captured the essence of this universal relationship with simplicity, depth, and emotional resonance. In 'Mother and Child,' Roy employed his signature style, characterized by bold lines, flat colours, and a sense of primitive aesthetic. The painting depicts a mother, cradling her child in her arms. The figures are portrayed with a certain stylized simplicity, emphasizing their fundamental forms and gestures. Moreover, Roy's use of line and form in 'Mother and Child' is distinctive. His deliberate simplification of shapes and forms lends a sense of strength and stability to the figures. The strong, confident lines used to delineate the contours of the mother and child create a visual harmony, conveying a sense of solidity and balance in their relationship.
