    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 boy sitting under a tree and writing with a pen, rendered with fluid, fine strokes of pencil delineating the form.
