    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 79 9008 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. The artist in this pen and ink drawing has represented two villagers carrying their belongings across a stick on the shoulders with one holding a cloth bag in his other hand. Nandalal has in his individualistic style emphasized on the line drawings with their solidity of structure. The artist has with the fluid handling of the line and its strong delineation in the calligraphic style lent grace and spirit to the form of the figures. The folds of their drapes, their coiffures, ornaments and their implements have been keenly observed by the artist in the sketch.
