Nandalal Bose

A Sketch from Album No. 64 8663 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink on paper

Nandalal Bose is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using pen and ink, recording his surroundings. In this particular drawing, Nandalal renders a portrait of the freedom fighter Abdul Ghaffar Khan, or 'Frontier Gandhi' as he was known, in profile in quick strokes. This is among several sketches and a lino-cut that Nandalal is known to have made of him, along with other figures of the Indian freedom movement he immortalised thus.
