Nandalal explored a wide range of traditions to arrive at his unique visual language and has left behind a large corpus of works in a wide variety of styles, expressions and techniques. In the above print the artist depicts three people sitting under a tree and drinking tea. Rendered with sharp, thin lines incised in a copper plate and transferred on the plain surface with the use of black ink. The firm yet fluid stroke suggest the contours of the forms and adds depth to the composition.
