Album No. -5 (Sculpture Studies) 7138 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. The above sketch by the artist depicts a drawing of a sculpture of a woman standing gracefully. The figure is rendered with thick, linear pencil strokes delineated in calligraphic style, articulating the basic contours of the woman and adding rhythm to the form.
