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 scene of an ‘Ashram’ where one woman is seen carrying a basket, other women sitting under the tree and a donkey standing in the foreground. Rendered with the use of colours in tonal variation, delineating the contours of the forms and adding depth to the composition.
