    A Sketch from Album No. 41 7994 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
In this watercolour sketch, Nandalal has depicted a galloping horse. In precise outlines with a pen, he defines its anatomy in detail, its musculature and stealth brought to life. In his book, 'On Art', Nandalal elaborates on an artistic understanding of anatomy thus, 'To acquire right knowledge and perception one should study men and animals when they are on the move or are active : when one can note in action the how and wherefore of the body's muscles, tendons and joints.'
