How do I set a budget for a first work?

Choose a figure you are comfortable spending in total, including framing, insurance, delivery and tax, and then look at works within it. The guide to buying a first Indian painting sets out the steps.

Can I see these works before I decide?

Yes. In Mumbai the house arranges a private viewing, or brings a work to you. Elsewhere it offers a video viewing and a true size preview on a photograph of your own wall.
