    A Sketch from Album No. 94 9393 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

Nandalal understood the significance of the use of lines and experimented frequently in their execution from fine lines to thick contouring lines. In the above monochrome sketch, Nandalal has depicted a rural village with family engaged in their daily chores and animals. The sketch has been swiftly executed with bold pen and ink strokes, which delineate the contours of the forms and add life and vigour to the composition.
