    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No.48 8286 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. The above sketch by the artist depicts a woman standing as she leans on a stick, looking at the horizon. The composition is rendered with fluid, soft brush strokes, articulating the contours and suggesting the stance of the form while adding rhythm and vivacity to the sketch.
