    A Sketch from Album No. 26 7561 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
This postcard depicts a pattern in frottage - the technique of rubbing a pencil on paper placed over a textured surface to get an impression of the motif below - probably from the base, plinth or column of a temple. The sketch portrays Nandalal's impulse to imitate the motif in its original form to enrich his knowledge of design and ornamental work.
