    Ramkinkar Baij’s artistic temperament was defined at Santiniketan, an art institution known for providing an informed western modernistic environment to the students. Baij was immensely influenced by his austere surroundings, the ordinary people and nature that became the subject matter for painting and sculpture. In this drawing, he has rendered a sketch of a baboon with the use of fluid, bold lines of pen and ink suggesting the basic form of the animal.
