"Nulia Girl Sitting" by Nandalal Bose is a stunning painting that represents the Nulia tribe and embodies the nuances of their day-to-day life through the medium of Sumi-e painting. The work was dated October 29, 1948; it represented a Nulia girl sitting on an elevated platform with a rhythmic brushstroke carrying with it the tranquility and simplicity of her existence. With an application of watercolors on sumi paper, the painting achieves a floaty yet expressive depth, contributing to the tonal variation and movement of the composition. The painterly signing of Indian modern art pioneer Nandalal Bose in Bengali (Nanda) accompanied by his red artist seal runs along the top right corner-a remarkable example of minimalist expressionism in which the artist imparts the culture of the Nulia tribe-a native fishing community that has survived on along the coastal belts of Odisha and West Bengal. The painting rests safely in the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and bears witness to Bose's mastery of traditional techniques and heirloom of being truly Indian
