Thence by descent
This painting was a gift of the artist to Dr. Dimock who was an influential scholar of Indian languages, the first to teach Bengali literature in the United States and professor emeritus of the University of Chicago. He was awarded the Desikottama, honorary doctor of letters in 1992. Dr. Dimock first travelled to Calcutta in 1955 and this painting was presented to him at that time.

"Jamini Roy's extraordinary contribution lay in adapting a modernist folk style to subjects as removed from his everyday experience as biblical themes." (Poetry and Patriotic Fervour: Indian Art Pre-Independence, exhibition catalogue, New Delhi, 2003, p. 42) Inspired by renaissance depictions of the lamentation of Christ, in this painting, Christ is supported by the apostles and Mary Magdalen, after his descent from the cross.
