    A Sketch from Album No. 43 8054 Nandalal Bose Pen and pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and drawing, instantly recording on post card sized paper scenes of nature and everyday life. This drawing is also one of the works painted from the streets of Darjeeling. Here a lady is seated at the counter of a hotel, cooking on a traditional stove. The drawing has been created with linear strokes of pen, using curved lines only to give volume to the body of the lady and the pots and utensils kept near her. His quick strokes were simply aimed to capture the subject in a brief moment.
