Sull’opera
Nandalal Bose (1883-1966) was an influential figure of the Bengal School of Art. He was an immediate disciple of Abanindranath Tagore, the leading artist and exponent of the school, as well as the reformist art teacher Dr E. B. Havell. Adhering to his mentor's patriotic commitment, Nandalal retrieved themes from the Indian epic past or scenes from romantic tales and reworked them in a highly romanticised style.
The artist has used ink on a pre-printed postcard to depict an obese caged man. The man is seated on a swing suspended by metal chains inside a zoo cage. Above him three small figures, resembling ganas or mischievous boys. The postcard is inscribed on the back: "A strange newcomer in our cage/from Bombay!!"
