    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 70 8809 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
In this second drawing in a series of ten drawings of trees in the album, Nandalal reproduces palm trees, executed briskly in short, loose strokes of the brush. Influenced by the arts of the Far-East, he has here employed the technique of modulating the tones of colour from darker through lighter to obtain a variety of shadings from near white, through grey tones to blacks.
