    A Sketch from Album No. 94 9388 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his sketches he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This sketch is a rendition of a woman, carrying a child on her back tied with a cloth and holding a basket in her other hand, rendered in fine, brisk strokes of ink that accentuate the rhythm and movement in the form.
