Crossword Genius

A good artist in Indian city (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agra

'indian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a good artist' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'a'+'g'+'ra'='AGRA'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agra that I've seen before include "Subcontinental city" , "Not tight" , "City famous for its Mogul architecture" , "Eastern city" , "mausoleum site" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
