    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 skeleton form of a mother and child, rendered with the use of fluid, bold strokes of ink suggesting the basic form of the figures.
