    Nandalal Bose

    An Anatomical study from Sketch Book No. 15 10812 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
In this fourth sketch of a series of six studies of the human skull in the album, Nandalal depicts the underside of the skull and upper jaw. The artist wanted to synthesise artistic visual expression with scientific fact and hence engaged with such minute attention to the form. He has here studied the structure of the human head to enrich his skills in figurative renditions.
