    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 sketch, the artist has depicted a sleeping dog delineated with thick, bold lines articulating the contours and suggesting its posture. The treatment is intended to exemplify an energetic and lively artistic temperament.
