    A Sketch from Album No. 75, 1951 8926 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. As the inscription suggests the above monochrome portrait by the artist is a perceptible representation of Abul K. Azad in profile. 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.
