Nandalal Bose
Pencil on postcard
×
Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. His small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. His search for newer forms of expression is well reflected in the multiple postcards in the collection of the museum which portray his visual experiences of mostly nature and rural life and also of his inner urge to constantly innovate. The above sketch depicts a pencil portrait of a man whom Nandalal has addressed in the inscription as- 'One of the Home Members of his Highness, The Nawab of Bhopal'.
