A Sketch from Album No. 19 7414 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and drawing, instantly recording in the post card sized papers his subjects from the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life, animals, flora and fauna or anything that he found fascinating. The above sketch by the artist is a quick line drawing depicting a family sitting and looking at the horizon. The figures have been rendered with soft, smudged pencil strokes, to define the details of form and posture.
