Nandalal's work reflected changing landscapes, portraits of people, sketches from life and places at the time of changing outlook in the modern Indian cultural domain. His nature to explore the various materials and mediums allowed him to make a prolific body of work in different mediums. Along with the techniques of art he imbibed from the European indigenous tradition and the Japanese wash technique, he also explored the art of Rabindranath Tagore, Abnindranath, who was his teacher. Thus the techniques of their art also reflect in Nandalal's visual expressions. This work depicts the Autumn season with the lady praying at the evening lamp.
