    A Miniature Study 10720 Nandalal Bose Watercolor on Paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subjects being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. The above painting by the artist has a strong element of fantasy and depicts the Greek god Pan, the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks and companion of the nymphs, playfully caressing his goat over a cloud. The figures are rendered with linear, fluid brush strokes articulating the contours, filled with dabs and dashes of colour, bringing about a corporeality of form and substance. The painting belongs to a series of reproductions that the artist made as he studied the works of European masters.
