    A Sketch from Album No. 44 8074 Nandalal Bose County on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his pencil sketches he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This quick sketch depicts a gardener trimming plants. The fluid, smudged strokes delineate the fine contours of the robust male form.
