    """""""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 this painting, he has depicted a woman sitting outside a hut and holding a flower, probably waiting for someone. This has been rendered with the use of colours in tonal variation, delineating the contours of the figure and adding depth to the composition."""""""
