    Miniature Study of Fruit 10734 Nandalal Bose Watercolor on Paper

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching and drawing, instantly recording in the post card sized papers his subjects from the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life, animals, flora and fauna or anything that he found fascinating.  In the above vibrant  watercolour painting the artist has rendered a musk melon cut into halves. The perceptible representation of the fruit is executed with dabs and dashes of colours, to articulate the contours and bring about a corporeality of form and substance.
