    A Sketch from Album No. 76 8952 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. The above monochrome sketch by the artist depicts an old man riding a bullock cart. The illustration is rendered with loose, thick ink strokes defining the contours of the forms. The fluid handling of the lines and their strong delineation in the calligraphic style adds vigour and dynamism to the composition.
