A good artist in an Indian city (4)
I believe the answer is:
agra
'an indian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a good artist' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'ag' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ag'+'ra'='AGRA'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for agra that I've seen before include "Indian city, capital of the Mogul empire until 1658" , "vicinity of mausoleum" , "Site of the TajMahal" , "Indian masterpiece" , "city founded in 1566" .)
