    A Sketch from Album No. 18 7377 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
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 quick rendition of a child sitting under the tree and eating, executed in quick, and subtle contouring lines that suggest the modelling of the form, sparing much detail.
