Pencil on postcard
×
In this postcard sized work, Nandalal has sketched a duck in loose, open strokes. The idea being to emphasise outlines and figurative accuracy, without indulging in textural details. In his book, 'On Art', Nandalal elaborates on the artistic concept 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.'
