    A Sketch from Album No. 75 8920 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. The above monochrome illustration by the artist depicts a baul singer playing a musical instrument. The sketch has been swiftly executed in bold, linear ink strokes that delineate the contours of the form, suggesting the characteristic facial features and demeanour of the subject.
