    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 47 8255 Nandalal Bose Pen & ink and watercolor on postcard

×
This drawing is a rendition of a Shiva sculpture in the style seen on the temples of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh and at the Konark Sun temple in Odisha. It is a simple sketch of delicate but confident lines defining the contours of the figure and watery brushstrokes, depicting the iconography of Shiva. The purpose of the brown colour is to convey the look of the stone.
