×
In this monochromatic sketch, Nandalal has depicted a woman from her back side, carrying a musical instrument. This has been executed with sweeping brush strokes of watercolour creating tonal variation, while the bold, merging strokes defines the contours of the figure. This technique of modulating the colour tones from darker through lighter to obtain a variety of shadings is known as the Sino- Japanese technique of painting, which was mastered by him and implemented in several of his works.
