Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. In this painting, the artist represents two women walking together in the foreground and a river in the background with a range of strokes in tonal variations capturing the rhythm and pattern in the image.
