    A Sketch from Album No. 66 8722 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoor with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. In this sketch, he uses the tonal variations of black ink to render this serene seascape. The fluid brush strokes and their strong delineation in the calligraphic style depict the waves of the sea, adding rhythm and movement to the composition.
