This ode to nature represents Benode Behari Mukherjee’s lively brushstrokes that created a sense of rhythm and lyricism in even his expressionistic compositions. The painting seems to consist of large leaves and blooms of the lotus as glimpsed in ponds where they might grow wild. The bold outlines and the filled in watercolours attest to his artistic technique in which he painted rapidly but also minimally, to create a representation that has stood the test of time.
