    A Sketch from Album No. 88 9255 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink 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. In this sketch, he has depicted a child, sitting over a black plum tree, executed in fluid, delicate lines. The artist has carefully rendered the tree in brisk strokes of pen and ink that delineate the contours of the form, adding rhythm and dynamism to the composition.
