×
Nandalal preferred drawing from life, often sketching outdoors with the subject being life, nature studies, landscapes, figure drawings, animals. The artist also had a keen fascination for studying the architectural traits particular to different regions and also observed the modifications in them with the change in terrains. Often these sketches were done from the sojourns and experiences and of the artist to various places. Though small in scale they were invigorating with the rich detailing of the artist's observations of the architectural features. In this pencil sketch the artist has observed the facade of a building from the Sardarpur region in Bengal with the eaves projecting from the tiled roof over the windows.
