    A Sketch from Album No. 71 8856 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. This drawing represents various scribble of village life. The sketch demonstrates Nandalal's keen observation of his natural surroundings which aided in his constant innovation of the visual language as an artist to bring out the rhythm and coherence in his subjects rather than their imitation in formal resemblance.
