Nandalal Bose

A Sketch from Album No.27 7570 Nandalal Bose Ink & pencil on postcard.

Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers, recording his surroundings. His small 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 sketch the artist has represented a woman draped in a saree from back. Swiftly rendered with thick, bold ink strokes delineating the contours of the body sparing much detail.
