    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 45 8149 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, 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. Here the artist has probably made quick notes of the forms of the conical thatched huts found in the Bengal countryside.
