    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 sketch the artist has depicted Abdul Ghaffar Khan, one of the freedom fighters of India. The composition is rendered with fluid lines creating a dramatic contrast of black and white image, resulting in an effective means of documenting the presence of this iconic figure of India.
