    Sketch from Sketch Book No.9 10673 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment with its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the form of his figures. Here he has rendered a sketch of a woman engaged in her daily household activity. The fluid handling of the line suggests the modelling of the body and the smudged pencil strokes highlight the facial features, sparing much detail.
