    Sketch from Sketch Book No.24 11112 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
Nandalal had a strong affinity for sketching, his subjects being the surrounding environs, people in their everyday life or anything that he found fascinating. In the above sketch, the artist has depicted a warrior carrying a spear, a shield marching with force to attack. The stylised figure is rendered with linear, fluid pencil strokes delineating the basic contours of the body and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
