A Sketch from Album No. 96 9432 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink and pencil on postcard

Nandalal's sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. The above sketch by the artist depicts a flag hoisting ceremony, witnessed by the locals. The composition is rendered with bold, brisk ink strokes suggesting the modelling of the forms, surrounding the circular platform. The strokes are fluid yet firm invigorating rhythm and dynamism to the composition.
