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, sculpture and printmaking. The above print depicts a playful time between a mother and a child lying on a charpoy. The composition is rendered with linear, firm yet fluid strokes incised on to a metal sheet. The lines are then transferred on the plain surface with the help of ink delineating the contours and suggesting the demeanour of the subjects.
