    A Sketch from Album No. 75 8922 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink 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 sketch by the artist depicts two children climbing on a tree. The composition is filled with action and is executed with bold ink and pencil strokes that delineate the contours of the forms, adding rhythm and dynamism to the composition.
