    A Sketch from Album No. 44 8113 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, 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 particular drawing, he has illustrated a group of chicks, with a hen wandering around shrubbery in dark, curvilinear strokes of the pen, adding life and vigour to it.
