    Sketch from Drawing Book No. 23 9883 Nandalal Bose Charcoal & 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 adding rhythm, vigour and life to the form of his figures. In this postcard sketch, he has studied a pair of folded hands and employed the combined tonal variations of pencil and textural properties of charcoal to suggest the modelling of the form.
