Raja Balwant Singh patronized the art of which of the following artist?

Nainsukh

The correct answer is Option (3) → Nainsukh

Raja Balwant Singh of Jasrota was a great patron of the famous Pahari artist Nainsukh. Many paintings from the mid-18th century show intimate and personal moments of Raja Balwant Singh’s life, painted with great detail and affection by Nainsukh. These works are important examples of Pahari miniature art and mark a shift toward naturalism and individual expression in Indian painting.

"Nainsukh appears to have left his hometown in Guler and moved to Jasrota. He is believed to have initially worked for Mian Zoravar Singh, whose son and successor Balwant Singh of Jasrota was to become his greatest patron. Nainsukh’s celebrated pictures of Balwant Singh are unique in the kind of visual record they offer of the patron’s life. Balwant Singh is portrayed engaged in various activities — performing puja, surveying a building site, sitting in a camp wrapped in a quilt because of the cold weather, and so on. The artist gratified his patron’s obsession by painting him on every possible occasion. Nainsukh’s genius was for individual portraiture that became a salient feature of the later Pahari style."
