These works (lots 1-3) were acquired directly from the artist in circa 1964 by Leonard Gordon. Mr. Gordon was introduced to Jamini Roy by his professor and life-long friend, Edward C. Dimock, Jr., of the University of Chicago while studying Bengali under a Ford Foundation Foreign Area Program grant. Mr. Gordon arrived in Calcutta in 1963 and soon became close friends with Jamini Roy, often visiting his home in Ballygunge where the front part served as a gallery to display and sell his paintings. The three works presented here were displayed in the gallery on one wall; the central large painting of Krishna and Balaram was flanked by the worshippers. They were conceived as a triptych by the artist.
