    Sketch from Drawing Book No. 11 9713 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
This sketch by Nandalal depicts a bird motif in frottage - the technique of rubbing pencil on paper placed over a textured surface to get an impression of the motif below - probably from the base, plinth or column of a historical building. The sketch portrays the artist's impulse to imitate the motif in its original form to enrich his knowledge of design and ornamental work.
