    A Sketch from Album No. 81 9082 Nandalal Bose Pencil, pen & ink on paper

×
This sketch by Nandalal depicts the portrait of a man in frontal profile. The shape has been rendered with soft strokes of a pencil to resemble the number 'four' in Bengali. The detailing of the face has been executed with thick strokes of ink. The artist has playfully associated the numerical form with human anatomy.
