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 sketch, he has depicted a village woman walking across the field carrying baskets in her hands. The sketch has been swiftly executed in bold, linear pen and ink strokes that delineate the contours of the form, suggesting the characteristic facial features and demeanour of the subject.
