    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 47 8242 Nandalal Bose Ink on paper

×
This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. The use of ink with brush strokes, dark and light, build up tonal variations in this painting of coconut palms. The background has been left bare to focus on the magnificent trees.
