About the Item

Ramkinkar Baij Ink Brush on Paper 5.5 x 3.5 inches ( Unframed Size ) Baij’s cow study in ink and wash exemplifies his gift for distilling movement into pure line and breath. With fluid brushwork and tonal washes, he animates the cow mid‑stride, embodying economy, rhythm, and empathy with rural life—an ethos central to Shantiniketan. Such animal studies, spanning cows, bulls, elephants, and birds, formed a continuum with his Haripura series and folk‑inspired works, teaching generations to see through rhythm and restraint rather than anatomy. In the broader Indian modernist context, these drawings mark the Bengal School’s shift toward Asian ink traditions and living folk practice, dignifying rural India while modernizing its image. Resonances with Jamini Roy, Husain, and Ramkinkar Baij, as well as international masters like Qi Baishi, Matisse, and Picasso, situate Bose’s work within a global dialogue of line and empathy.
