    A Sketch from Album No. 67 8739 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
In this postcard sketch, Nandalal has studied a man carrying a basket on his shoulder. The brisk, loose strokes of the pen have been rendered in a swift manner, accentuating the contours of his slender body. Nandalal in his book, 'On Art' writes, "To acquire right knowledge and perception one should study men and animals when they are on the move or are active: when one can note in action the how and wherefore of the body's muscles, tendons and joints."
