Untitled work by Kisory Roy Kisory Roy was a student of Jamini Prakash Gangooly, a leading academic painter of early 20th-century India, and remained deeply influenced by his mentor’s style throughout his distinguished career. Roy is especially celebrated for his landscapes, many of which were painted en plein air. This oil on canvas painting depicts a solitary figure, pauseed along a winding footpath, possibly taking in the vivid hues of a sunset on the horizon. A group of dogs ambles past two trees. While grounded in realism, Roy’s approach is marked by expressive touches—scattered impasto and bold colour choices, such as the rich blue accents on the rocks—that subtly push against the boundaries of academic tradition.
