    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 97 9496 Nandalal Bose Ink on paper

×
Nandalal understood the importance of studying and perfecting the basic form. He observed flowers, trees, animals, landscapes and architecture, taking notes on the visual panorama and reproducing them on paper. In this sketch the artist has reproduced the form of the Hindu deity Varaha, depicted as a boar, probably from a sculptural source at Konark, in Puri, Orissa, as the inscription suggests.
