This postcard sketch by Nandalal shows an anatomical line drawing of a woman sitting in a certain posture, rendered with loose pencil strokes, defining only the outlines. Jaya Appasamy in her article, 'Nandalal Bose- Master Draughtsman' in the book, '?Nandalal Bose (1882-1966) Centenary Exhibition? writes, "The drawings on postcards have a spontaneity and brevity not seen in more formal works. They exist as evidence of the artist's unceasing desire to master visual data."
