    A Sketch from Album No. 22 7455 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his pencil sketches, he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This sketch is a quick rendition of a woman sitting. The fine, fluid lines have been delineated in the calligraphic style resulting in a realistic representation of the female form.
