    Album No. -9 (A Sketch of a Human Figure) 7206 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his pencil sketches he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This sketch is a quick rendition of a woman, standing draped in a sari rendered in fine, brisk strokes that accentuate the rhythm and movement in the form.
