    A Sketch from Album No. 44 8129 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

×
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 sketch is a quick rendition of a local village woman, carrying a spade on her head, rendered with pen in fine, brisk strokes that accentuate the rhythm and movement in the form.
