    Architectural Design from Sketch Book No.6 10409 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink on paper

×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings and animals. He also had a keen fascination for studying the architectural traits of different regions and observed the modifications in them with the change in terrains. These sketches are small in scale, but invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations of the architectural features. In this sketch he has depicted a window at the Jagannath Temple complex through which the path to Ranubati can be seen as the inscription suggests, executed in linear strokes, sparing much detail.
