×
In this sketch, the last of a series of ten sketches of elephants in the album, Nandalal has reproduced a drawing of an elephant from the book, 'Indian Drawings' by Ananda Coomaraswamy, as the inscription suggests. The artist has swiftly executed the sketch using simple and loose strokes, darkening the outlines to highlight its form.
