Spanish master's year in Indian state (4)
I believe the answer is:
goya
'spanish master's' is the definition.
(master painter Francisco Goya)
'year in indian state' is the wordplay.
'year' becomes 'y'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'indian state' becomes 'goa' (I've seen this before).
'y' put inside 'goa' is 'GOYA'.
(Other definitions for goya that I've seen before include "Portrait painter" , "Great Spanish painter who depicted horrors of war" , "Spanish painter (Los Caprichos)" , "European painter" , "his etchings?" .)
