    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 83 9136 Nandalal Bose Coloured pencil, pen and ink on paper

×
This is another one of Nandalal's quickly executed sketches. Characterised by their loose strokes and outlines, their purpose is to serve as studies of poses as well as an exploration of forms at their most basic. Stripping it of superfluous detail, only the bare minimum remains. In this particular sketch the artist has depicted a reclining dog from behind.
