    Album No. 12 (A Landscape) 7238 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, and animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. The above illustration by the artist depicts a railway track, lined with palm trees on the side. The rendering of the track and the trees are done by the use of dark, bold strokes, creating an interplay of diagonal and vertical lines.
