    Album No. - 4 (Landscapes) 7115 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. In this pencil drawing the artist has captured the scenic landscape with the use of spontaneous lines. The water in the river gracefully meanders between the distinctively drawn bushes and leaves, whereas a horizon in the deep background is handled in soft curls with pencil.
