    Album No. 14 (A Sketch) 7262 Nandalal Bose Ink 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 sitting on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body and the smudged ink strokes highlight the facial features.
