A Sketch from Album No. 65 8711 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. In this postcard sketch he has studied a man, carrying his belongings with a child on his shoulders. The fluid handling of the line and its strong delineation in the calligraphic style defines the fine contours of the forms and adds rhythm and vitality to the composition.
