A Sketch from Album No. 96 9425 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

Nandalal's small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. In the above monochrome sketch, the artist has depicted a man carrying an earthen pot over his shoulder. The composition is rendered with bold, continuous ink strokes delineated in calligraphic style articulating the structure and demeanour of the subject.
