Model Answer

(D) Raja Ravi Verma

The painting, depicting a mythological/royal scene with figures in traditional Indian attire, is characteristic of Raja Ravi Verma's style of oil painting blending Indian themes with Western realism.

Explanation

Raja Ravi Verma (1848–1906) is the most celebrated Indian painter known for large-format mythological and royal portraits combining Indian subjects with European academic realism. The other options — Abanindranath Tagore (Bengal School), Rabindranath Tagore (poet/artist), and Satyendranath Bishi — did not paint in this style. Note: The source passages provided are from the History chapter on European Nationalism and do not directly reference this painting, so answer is based on general CBSE Art/History knowledge.
