    A Sketch from Album No. 41 8008 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandlal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. In this sketch, he has studied the front side of a calf?s limbs from different angles, vividly captured in brief, quick strokes, emphasizing on its structure and liveliness.
