Untitled (Lush Tree and Parched Land)

1882 - 1966

Nandalal Bose

Indian

An expanse of dry land rendered in sharp lines recedes towards a distant horizon in this monochromatic ink drawing. The cracked surface of the parched earth contrasts sharply with the delicate, spherical form of a banyan tree with its limbs gently bowing towards the ground.
