    Album No. -5 (Sculpture Studies) 7145 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and drawing, instantly recording in the post card sized papers his subjects from the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life, animals, flora and fauna or anything that he found fascinating. The above sketch by the artist, is a perceptible representation of a man adorned with a turban and jewels. The composition is rendered with bold pencil strokes delineating the basic contours of the body and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
