The correct answer is Abanindranath Tagore. He was a key figure in the Bengal School of Art and played a pivotal role in establishing the Indian Society of Oriental Art.

The Indian Society of Oriental Art was founded in Calcutta in 1907 to promote modern Indian artists and oriental art.

Ernest Binfield Havell, the Principal of the Government School of Art in Calcutta, was also a co-founder along with Abanindranath Tagore and other artists and art lovers. Rabindranath Tagore was a strong supporter and patron of art but was not among the principal founders of this specific society.
