    A Sketch from Album No. 22 7461 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 by Nandalal depicts a man sitting on the floor engaged in some household work. The artist uses a minimalistic approach to render the subject, employing soft, smudged strokes that bring out the corporeality of the forms and add life and vitality to the composition.
