Pencil on paper
×
This sketch depicts part of a circular pattern in frottage - the technique of rubbing pencil on paper placed over a textured surface to get an impression of the motif below - probably from the base, plinth or column of a historical building. The sketch portrays Nandalal's impulse to imitate the motif in its original form to enrich his knowledge of design and ornamental work.
