    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 68 8776 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
In this postcard Nandalal depicts an aged male figure, a patua painter as per the inscription, looking warmly at his wife.The artist renders the subject in dark, wiry outlines and light washes of colour that define the man's wrinkled body and facial features. Nandalal has here captured a subtle moment and portrayed it with simplicity.
