    A Sketch from Album No. 21 7443 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. He firmly believed that for the creation of art, an intimate understanding of nature and its ways is imperative. This watercolour sketch of a hen and a cockerel by Nandalal displays his keenness to observe the birds and their mannerisms.
