    A Sketch from Album No. 94 9381 Nandalal Bose Watercolour 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 two woman sitting on the floor, making Rangoli. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body and the dabs and dashes of ink highlight the facial features, sparing much detail.
