    Album No. -17 7329 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his pencil sketches, he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This sketch is a depiction of a man, moving a herd of goats outside the hut. Rendered in fluid, fine strokes and the smudged shading defining the contours of the forms.
