A Sketch from Album No. 63 8642 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

Nandalal Bose had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. The above postcard shows a woman separating husks from rice grains using a winnowing basket, illustrated at the bottom left corner of the paper.
