Ink drawing on paper
×
This ink drawing by Nandalal depicts a floral motif within a medallion setting in loose, fluid strokes of the brush. The underlying pencil shading suggests that it has been rendered over a frottageĀ impressionĀ - the technique of rubbing pencil on paper placed over a textured surface to get an impression of the pattern below. The sketch portrays Nandalal's impulse to imitate the motif in its original form to enrich his knowledge of design and ornamental work.
