A Sketch from Album No. 24 7494 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

Nandalal's sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. In the above monochrome sketch, the artist has depicted a landscape. The various forms in the illustration, are sketched with the use of black, bold lines. The stark silhouettes are filled with soft, smudged strokes to lend texture to these forms, adding life and vitality to the sketch.
