    Dhol wala 5004 Nandalal Bose Tempera on paper 59 x 63 cm

×
Haripura posters by Nandalal capture moments of everyday Indian village life and culture. In this poster he has depicted a 'dhol wala' (a drummer) sitting on the floor and playing his instrument, filled with action and expressive of his mood and character. The illustration has been executed with vibrant earthy colours and spontaneous, energetic contouring lines which aptly limn the figure with the artist's personal sensibilities.
