    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 19 7404 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal explored a wide range of traditions to arrive at his unique visual language and has left behind a large corpus of works in a wide variety of styles, expressions and techniques. His small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. In the above sketch, Nandalal has rendered a man as he walks, draped in a shawl. He has executed the figure in a few, loose, calligraphic brush strokes, depicting the characteristic facial features and demeanour of the subject.
