    An Ornamental Design - Sketch from Sketch Book No.3 10346 Nandalal Bose Pencil on paper

×
This sketch depicts a floral 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 a metallic plate. The sketch portrays Nandalal's impulse to imitate the motif in its original form to enrich his knowledge of design and ornamental work.
