Nandalal has 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 Mahishasur mardini, one of the avatar's of goddess Durga. The ferocious figure is rendered with linear, firm yet fluid ink strokes articulating the detail contours and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
