Ramkinkar Baij selected images for his sculptures and paintings from his rural surroundings. The poor and the downtrodden figured primarily as his subjects. Baij's watercolours mostly reflect his preoccupation with nature and the animal world. His work is characterised by tremendous energy, dynamism and the use of earthy colours. In the above sketch, the artist has studied the stance of Lord Shiva dancing, as carved in the caves of Ellora. The composition is rendered with fine, bold ink strokes, delineating lord Shiva's dancing posture.
