    A Sketch from Album No. 24 7496 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
The technique of modulating the ink tones from darker through lighter to obtain a variety of shades was acquired by Nandalal from the arts of the Far East . The above monochrome sketch by the artist depicts a hut surrounded by trees, rendered with dabs of watercolour that has been harmoniously diluted to lend tonal variation suggesting depth in the composition.
