    Album No. 11 (A Portrait Study) 7234 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal created a visual language with the use of simple lines, tones and strokes to model and bring about a corporeality of form and substance. In the above postcard, he illustrates a man peering out from under the thick layers of a blanket as he sits huddled in the cold. The dark and heavy, smudged strokes in the background are suggestive of a night-time sketch.
