Who received first paid commission to paint portrait of Krishna Menon's Family?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Ravi Varma
In 1870 Ravi Varma received his first paid commission to paint the portrait of Kizhakke Palat Krishna Menon’s family. This is a transitional work which blends elements of a flatter, two-dimensional style popular within earlier watercolours with the newer techniques of perspective and illusionism, made possible by the use of a medium like oil.
