Sketch from Sketch Book No.24 11146 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. The above sketch by the artist is a perceptible representation of one of the sculptures from khandagiri caves as per the inscription. The figure in the movement is rendered with linear, fluid pencil strokes articulating the contours and suggesting the demeanour of the subject.
