    A Sketch from Album No. 94 9386 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal, in his sketches, experimented with the representation of lines to attain texture and add vigour and life to the form of his figures. This postcard sketch by Nandalal is a rendition of man and a woman walking through the field carrying spade in their hand. It has been swiftly executed in loose, brisk pen and ink strokes that suggest the modelling of the forms and highlight the light and depth in the composition.
