This is a scan of my grandfather's work where he translated a poem originally written by Tagore to Sindhi. I believe he used a mix of a brush and a fountain pen to write and paint this piece.
At the time, Sindhi was predominantly written in a modified version of the Arabic script, so it's quite beautiful to see the calligraphy (and his little artist stamp at the bottom left corner).
