    Sketch from Drawing Book No. 17 9791 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment in the representation of its varying forms. In the above monochrome study sketch the artist depicts two men in movement. The figures are rendered with soft, fluid pencil strokes delineating the basic contours and suggesting the demeanour of the subjects, sparing much detail.
