    A Sketch from Album No. 88 9265 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 renders a wealth bowl which is carried by goddess Lakshmi as the inscription suggest. Executed in fine, fluid pen and ink strokes. The use of both linear and curvilinear strokes for shading, adds grace to the form.
