Today, she is amongst Nine Masters, whose work was declared as art treasures by The Archaelogical Survey of India, in 1976 and 1979. She was daughter of Umrao Singh Sher-Gil Majithia, a Sikh aristocrat and also a scholar in Sanskrit and Persian, and Marie Antoinette Gottesmann, a Jewish Opera singer from Hungary."
