    A Sketch from Album No. 17 7346 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
In this image, Nandalal has quickly sketched the form of a woman seated on the ground. Eminent artist A. Ramachandran in the book, 'Rhythms of India: The Art of Nandalal Bose' has made the following observation about Nandalal's drawings and sketches, ?He made quick graphic impressions, often simplifying them to just few lines as he sought to understand the inherent structure of what he was seeing. At times he recorded objects in a more analytical way, while at others he transformed them into visual codes of pattern.?
