Solution

The correct option is B Basawan, Daswant
B.Basawan, Daswant

Daswanth was the son of a Kahar and was a palki bearer. He was fond of painting pictures on the walls and one day Akbar chanced to see him and his art and he at once employed him as a painter and patronized his work. But when Daswanth reached the height of his fame he became insane and committed suicide.

Basawan was considered by some critics as a greater painter than even Daswanth. He excelled in the painting of background and the drawing of features, distribution of colors and portraiture painting.
