Ramkinkar was well aware of the post-industrial art or the modern movements in the western and eastern art scene and tried to incorporate the dynamics of such changes in his own work while keeping the Santiniketan aesthetic tradition in focus. In this oil painting, he has illustrated a scene from children’s story book ‘Foot of the Arakan’, where a man is climbing a mountain on a horse. This has been rendered with fluid brush strokes in tonal variation adding depth in the composition.
