    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 the above painting, the artist has depicted a group of harvesters, delineated with dabs and dashes of watercolour, outlined with black brush strokes. The treatment is intended to exemplify an energetic and lively artistic temperament.
