Mughal Warrior (Haripura Congress Panel), 1937 4856 Nandalal Bose Tempera on paper 59 x 63.3 cm

"""""""Haripura posters by Nandalal captured moments of everyday Indian village life and culture. In these illustrations, the artist evolves his visual language to bring out the rhythm and coherence in his subjects rather than their imitation in formal resemblance. In this poster, he has depicted a Mughal warrior sitting with his shield and spear, executed in earthen colours and swift strokes in calligraphic manner reminiscent of Indian folk art."""""""
