    Nandalal Bose

    A sketch from Sketch Book No.1 10039 Nandalal Bose Watercolour & ink on paper

×
Nandalal has, in this monochromatic drawing, emphasised the use of the line for precise and recognizable variations. In this last sketch of a series of eleven sketches of aquatic life in the album, Nandalal depicts a freshwater fish, rendered in bold outlines of ink and watercolour, defining the contours of its body. The swift strokes add grace and vigour to the forms.
