    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9272 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal Bose's drawings were his vivid observations of the characteristics and attributes of subjects chosen from his immediate surroundings. This particular sketch illustrates a village woman holding a bucket in her hand. Nandalal, in this quickly illustrated sketch, uses thick strokes to delineate the folds of her drapery. Jaya Appaswamy in her article, 'Nandalal Bose- Master Draughtsman' writes- "The drawings on postcards have a spontaneity and brevity not seen in more formal works. They exist as evidence of the artist's unceasing desire to master visual data."
