    A Sketch from Album No. 79 9019 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink on paper

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. In the above postcard Nandalal illustrates a woman cutting paddy crops in the field. Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment in representation of lines in its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the form of the figures.
