    Nandalal Bose

    Sketch from Drawing Book No. 22 9874 Nandalal Bose Watercolor on Paper

×
In this postcard, Nandalal has depicted an animal, during his visit to the Bagh Caves as the inscription suggests. He has applied just a few dabs and dashes of ink to indicate the presence of the animal in the vast expanse of a forest. The artist learned this technique of the adept use of inherent white space with tonal variations of a single black ink from Far-Eastern painting traditions.
