    Sketch from Sketch Book No. 8 10563 Nandalal Bose Pencil & water colour on paper

×
Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers recording his surroundings. His small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. Here he renders a scene from Tanda, a small town close to the Bagh Caves in Madhya Pradesh. In quick strokes of the brush and ink he portrays, a stationary cart with two satchels hung on the wall behind.
