    Album No. 16 (A Portrait Sketch) 7320 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 form of his figures. Here he has rendered a sketch of a man. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body and the smudged pencil strokes highlights the facial features.
