Volume No. 84(c) : Picture Post Card 11324 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. In this sketch, he has depicted a woman sitting and engages in an activity of preparing organic colours against the intricate mesh of branches covering the background. This has been executed in fluid yet firm, bold ink strokes, delineating the forms and demeanour of the subject.
