Sketch from Drawing Book No. 24 9890 Nandalal Bose Charcoal & pencil on paper

This particular sketch executed with quick strokes is one of many examples of Nandalal's acute observation of his surroundings. In the above landscape, he has made the perceptible representation of an architectural structure of a Mosque situated on the bank of river 'Moni' as the inscription suggests. The sketch has been executed with a range of pencil strokes that bring out the corporeality of the forms and add vitality to it.
