Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Jamini Roy (Option 1) was a celebrated modernist painter famous for his folk style, but he wasn’t awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind gold medal.

- Abanindranath Tagore (Option 2) led the Bengal School of Art. He’s the one who actually got the Kaisar-i-Hind gold medal from Lord Curzon for his services to art. Correct Answer

- Raja Ravi Varma (Option 3) is a legendary figure in Indian art, known for blending European techniques with Indian themes, but he didn’t receive this specific honor.

- Nandalal Bose (Option 4) is another giant in Indian modernism and a key student of Abanindranath Tagore, but again, not the recipient here.

So, the answer you’re looking for is Abanindranath Tagore.

He got the award from Lord Curzon for his immense impact on Indian art and education.
