    An Anatomical study from Sketch Book No. 15 10820 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
This detailed anatomical sketch by Nandalal depicts the muscular structure of the human arm and shoulder, clearly labelled with each of its parts. 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 muscles and movement of the human arm to lend authenticity to his figurative renditions.
