Haripura posters by Nandalal captured moments of everyday Indian village life and culture. In these illustrations, the artist evolves his visual language to bring out the rhythm and coherence in his subjects rather than their imitation in formal resemblance. In this poster, he has depicted a swan holding a flower from its beak, executed in earthen colors and swift strokes in calligraphic manner reminiscent of Indian folk art.
