    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 95 9410 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
In this postcard, Nandalal sketches a local woman from back carrying river water fishes and eggs, as suggested in the inscription, rendered in delicate sweeping lines that define the contours of her slender body. The brisk, downward strokes, delineated in a calligraphic fashion, accentuate the rhythm and movement in the form.
