    Album No. - 4 (Landscapes) 7118 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. His small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. Bansberi is a small town and a municipality in Hooghly district in the state of West Bengal, it is located in the West Bank of the Hoogly river. This work, is among the many sketches Nandalal made in Bansberi. Nandalal made quick sketches of people boarding the boats near the shore and would usually finish the sketch with a deep horizon in the background.
