    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9284 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment in representation of lines in its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the forms of nature. In the above hilly landscape, the perceptible representation of the pine trees with their ridged surfaces is executed with a range of strokes that lends tonal variations, texture and brings out the true form of the trees. The adept use of the inherent white space in the foreground and water-body with scribbled strokes showcases Nandalal's prowess as a draftsman.
