    Album No. 15 (A Dancing Mudra) 7283 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal's sketches provide a moving record of the humble life and natural environment in which he lived. He understood the significance of the use of lines and experimented frequently in their execution from fine lines to being thick contouring lines. The above sketch by the artist depicts a male dancer, filled with action and executed in repetitive, fluid pencil strokes that suggest the modelling of the form and add rhythm and dynamism to the composition.
