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 sketch by the artist is a perceptible representation of one of the sculptures of Konark temple. The composition depicts an adorned horse in movement, with two men looking at the viewers. The figures are delineated with continuous, bold brush strokes articulating the basic contours and suggesting their demeanours.
