    A Sketch from Album No. 75 8928 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal in his artistic career sketched fervently with either pen or brush, subjects ranging from mythic and religious themes to nature and social reality. The above monochrome sketch by the artist depicts a fight scene probably from one of the folk stories from a region. A man is riding on an adorned wooden dummy horse covered with elaborately decorated fabric. The rider is surrounded with men carrying armaments. The composition is filled with action and is executed with bold ink strokes that delineate the contours of the forms, adding rhythm and dynamism to the composition.
