    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9283 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal created a visual language by the use of simple lines, tones and strokes to model and bring about a corporeality of form and substance. In the above postcard, Nandalal illustrates a woman glancing out from a window. Nandalal uses delicate lines that create the visual effect of a sari, clinging to the woman's body. The series of slanting strokes also suggest rainfall. The range of Nandalal's artistic expression can be seen in his varied images of nature and the portrayal of people and places.
