    A Sketch from Album No. 20 7430 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal, in his sketches, experimented with the representation of lines to attain texture and add vigour and life to the form of his figures. This postcard sketch by Nandalal is a quick rendition of a woman lying on a swing, tied up to the tree. It has been swiftly executed in dark, brisk pencil strokes that suggest the modelling of the form and highlight the light and depth in the composition.
