    Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. The above sketch by the artist depicts a woman planting coconut palms in the field. The composition is rendered with fluid, soft brush strokes delineating the contours of her body and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
