    A Sketch from Album No. 76 8960 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 is a portrait of Suren Ganguly as suggested in the inscription. The composition is rendered with repetitive bold ink strokes that suggest the modelling of the form and demeanour of the subject.
