    Album No. -10 (A Sketch of a Human Figure) 7214 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. He has here rendered the sketch of 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 of the figure.
