    """""""Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. In the above painting the artist has depicted a woman as she sensuously plays with her hair. Like most of Nandalal's later wash paintings this too focuses on a single figure with elongated limbs and a face with sharp features and drowsy eyes. The figure is rendered with clearly defined contour lines filled with colours bringing about a corporeality of form. """""""
