Indian city's silver presented to artist (4)
I believe the answer is:
agra
'indian city's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'silver presented to artist' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'presented to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ag'+'ra'='AGRA'
(Other definitions for agra that I've seen before include "mausoleum site" , "Site of the TajMahal" , "Eastern city" , "North Indian city, former capital of the Mogul empire" , "Foreign city" .)
