    Album No. -9 (A Sketch of a Human Figure) 7207 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment with its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the form of his figures. Here he has rendered the sketch of a man and a woman sitting on the floor. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body and the smudged pencil strokes highlight the facial features, sparing much detail.
