Over a period of time Mukherjee's
style has evolved , the colours have brightened , the
characters in his works have acquired a cheerful note
from the earlier works which more sombre. But the focus
has always been the family, with emphasis on the close
bonding between them , shown by the physical contact
with each other, be it husband - wife , mother-child
,grandparent-grandchild or between siblings. The attention
to composition, background , detailing of the people,
in traditional Bengali attire and jewellery in an environment
that is reminiscent of the old Kolkata havelis. All
enhanced by the deep and rich hues of color.
