Literary Reference
" Dhanapal … was considered to be at his best in delicate drawings in brush or pencil of classical themes such as \'Vasantha Ruthu\'. Dhanapal\'s line drawings of this period were notable for their extremely thin and lyrical qualities and one could detect the influence of Chola murals on his art. "
