    A Sketch from Album No. 95 9409 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
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 juggler sitting with his goat along with his belongings, in fluid, rhythmic lines of pen and ink, suggesting the modelling of the forms.
