    Ramkinkar Baij selected images for his sculptures and paintings from his rural surroundings. The poor and the downtrodden figured primarily as his subjects. Baij's watercolours mostly reflect his preoccupation with nature and the animal world. His work is characterised by tremendous energy, dynamism and the use of earthy colours. In the above painting, the artist has depicted a man bathing his buffaloes in the river, rendered with dabs and dashes of watercolour in tonal variations, delineating the forms.
