Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. He also experimented with printmaking in his long artistic career. In the above print the artist depicts a mango grove, rendered with sharp, thin lines incised in a copper plate and transferred on the plain surface with the use of black ink. The incised lines, articulate the stiff contours of the mango trees and adds vigour to the composition.
