Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. The above illustration by the artist is a perceptible representation of the cover of one of the art journals of Sri lanka named 'Ceylon Observer'. The sketch depicts a meeting of a Sinhalese and a Bengali girl, rendered with linear, continuous coloured strokes delineating the delicate structures and suggesting their demeanours.
