    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No.27 7585 Nandalal Bose Ink & pencil on postcard.

×
Nandalal Bose was indefatigable in his sketching routines that formed an adjunct part of his daily life. This postcard portrays a woman from back, carrying a basket on her head, draped in a saree, rendered in thick contouring lines. The fluid handling of the line and the dark ink strokes suggest the modelling of the body and accentuate the rhythm and movement in the form.
