    A Sketch from Album No. 92 9339 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment with its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the form of his figures. Here he has rendered a sketch of a woman sitting on the floor making Rangoli. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body, defining the contours of the figure and adds life and grace to the composition.
