A decorative flagon 5040 Nandalal Bose Tempera on paper 60.3 x 63.1 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 'decorative flagon' executed in earthen colors and swift strokes in calligraphic manner reminiscent of Indian folk art."""""""
