    NULIA GIRL SITTING 5177 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on Sumi paper 21.5 x 31.5 cm

×
"""""""This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. These compositions were stripped to the bare minimum where only a few strokes of ink were employed to create natural forms in an effortless approach. The artist has executed a girl of Nulia tribe sitting on a raised platform, with a range of strokes in tonal variations capturing the rhythm and pattern of the image. This painting was purchased from the collection of Shri Biswaroop Bose and Smt. Nivedita Bose, children of Nandalal Bose."""""""
