    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No.77 8977 Nandalal Bose Pen, ink & pencil on card

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and drawing, instantly recording in the postcard sized papers his subjects from the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life, animals, flora and fauna or anything he found fascinating. The above sketch is a study of a Giant Tara plant as suggested in the inscription. The plant is rendered with fluid, linear strokes articulating the outlines. The strokes are delineated in the calligraphic style adding grace and vigour to the composition.
