    Album No. 16 (A Portrait Sketch) 7309 Nandalal Bose Pencil 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 forms of the figures. The sketch above depicts a portrait of a man, where the contours of his face have been rendered in swift, short strokes of the pencil.
