    Sketch from Sketch Book No.9 10678 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals and birds or anything that he found fascinating. In his pencil sketches, he has experimented with the use of lines to add texture, vigour and life to his sketches. This sketch is a quick rendition of a group of people on their way back, as the inscription suggest, executed in loose pencil strokes, fine contouring lines that suggest the modelling of the forms, sparing much detail.
