Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. He also experimented with printmaking in his long artistic career. In the above print the artist depicts a boul singer playing his musical instruments, rendered with thin, firm yet fluid lines incised on a copper plate, imprinted on a plain surface with the use of black ink. The strokes articulate the elongated structures of the singer and suggest his demeanour.
