Chrysanthemun with a Green bird 5029 Nandalal Bose Tempera on paper

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 Chrysanthemun plant with a Green bird perch on its stem, executed in earthen colors and swift strokes in calligraphic manner reminiscent of Indian folk art.
