Nandalal Bose

A Sketch from Album No. 82 9092 Nandalal Bose Coloured pencil, 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 this sketch, he has depicted a village woman carrying fishes in a basket over her head and walking along the riverside. This has been executed in quick, bold strokes of ink, delineating the form of a figure and soft strokes of colour pencil lends grace to the composition.
