"""""""Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. This particular print depicts an actor waiting her turn to play the Hindu mythological character of Chitrangada. The composition is rendered with linear, firm yet fluid lines incised on the hard surface, probably a copper plate, imprinted on a paper with the help of black ink. The sharp strokes articulate the contours and suggest her demeanour."""""""
