Explanation:

In 1906, Raja Ravi Varma painted Krishna as envoy in his artwork, housed at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in New Delhi, India.

K. Venkatappa created the painting 'Rama’s marriage' in 1914. It is housed in his Private Collection, India.

In 1941, Amrita Sher-Gil created the artwork 'Camels' which is now housed at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in New Delhi, India.

Tiller of the soil- This is one of the panels made by Nandalal Bose in 1938 for the Haripura Congress. In this panel, a farmer is shown ploughing a field — the daily activity of a common man and in a village. To capture the essence of village life in his Haripura panels, Bose made pen-and-ink brush studies of local villagers. He used thick tempera in a bold cursory style and broad brushwork. This technique and style was reminiscent of the folk art practice of patuas or scroll painters.
