    Sketch from Sketch Book No.22 - Ajanta Sketches 11028 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
This sketch is a quick study of a female figure by Nandalal, reproduced from part of the mural that depicts the 'Shad-danta Jataka' or the 'story of the six-tusked elephant'. Here, the image depicts a court scene where the figure, an attendant holds an umbrella over the king. Rendered in fine linearity, the curvilinear strokes accentuate the contours of the feminine form.
