    A Sketch from Album No. 19 7413 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal is known for his unique visual language using simple lines, tones and strokes to model and bring about a corporeality of form and substance. In the above sketch, he has portrayed a woman standing with her legs crossed, as she ties her hair. The sketch has been executed with soft, linear pencil strokes along with a dark, firm contouring to bring out the drapes of the saree.
