    Nandalal Bose

    Sketch from Sketch Book No. 8 10562 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals or anything that fascinated him. Often the sketches were small in scale although invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations, experiences and sojourns to various places. In this delicate postcard size sketch, Nandalal renders a temple lamp with all its sculptural intricacies.
