    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 drawing, the artist has depicted a settlement in the mountains with fine yet firm pen and ink strokes. The treatment is intended to exemplify an energetic and lively artistic temperament.
