    ANIMALS ON A HILL 5652 Nandalal Bose Watercolor on Paper

×
This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. These compositions were stripped to the bare minimum where only a few strokes of ink were employed to create natural forms in an effortless approach. The subject here being 'Animal on a Hill' executed from his memory and experiences. The artist has here depicted a flock of animals on a hill, rendered in a few brush strokes with mere dabs and dashes of ink. This painting was purchased from the collection of Shri Biswaroop Bose and Smt. Nivedita Bose, children of Nandalal Bose.
