The lines in A. A. Almelkar’s art are bold, precise, lyrical, and graceful. For someone who celebrated the glory of traditional Indian art, Almelkar redefined folk style in his work. This Untitled drawing, in fact, conveys to the viewer the graceful, rhythmic movement of the two folk musicians. The rich pattern and lines shown in one portion of the background offer depth to the artwork while the emphasis on the subjects’ eyes, their accessories, and their instruments, allows for immediate engagement of the viewer.
