Chariot with the National Flag 5026 Nandalal Bose Tempera on paper 59.6 x 63.5 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 chariot having national flag leading by a galloping horse. This has been executed in vibrant earthy colors and spontaneous, energetic contouring lines aptly limn the form with the artist's personal sensibilities."""""""
