    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 sketch, he has depicted a nude female figure standing near the table, rendered with fluid, swift strokes of ink in tonal variation. The treatment is intended to exemplify an energetic and lively artistic temperament.
