    A Sketch from Album No. 95 9417 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. In this postcard, he has rendered the detail anatomy of an insect in fluid, delicate strokes of ink, and smudged, soft strokes of pen, adding grace and depth to the sketch.
