Album No. -5 (Sculpture Studies) 7140 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 study sketch by the artist depicts a a woman standing under a tree and playing a musical instrument. The figure is rendered with thick pencil strokes delineated in calligraphic style, articulating the graceful posture of the woman, adding rhythm and dynamism to the form.
