Nandalal Bose

A Sketch from Album No. 21 7450 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. 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 this painting, he has depicted with remarkable sensitivity, a female dog with her litter. The young pups cuddling up to her, while she watches over them makes for a moving image.
