    A Sketch from Album No. 88 9262 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. In this sketch, the artist has rendered a sculpture of a ferocious mythical creature, probably from a South Asian temple. The sketch is rendered with bold, fine yet firm pen and ink strokes articulating the form of the subject.
