    Sketch from Drawing Book No. 10 9711 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
This is another one of Nandalal's quickly executed sketches. Characterised by their loose strokes and outlines, their purpose is to serve as studies of poses as well as an exploration of forms at their most basic. Stripping it of superfluous detail, only the bare minimum remains. This particular sketch depicts a head study of a calf. The artist has also studied its ear in a smaller template by the side.
