    Album No. 12 (A Landscape) 7246 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and used a variety of lines to create graphic representations of his visual experiences. His sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. The above monochrome sketch depicts an architectural structure rendered using dark, sharp lines. The entire composition is covered with cross hatching and stippling which gives the appearance of a veil covering the image.
