R. D. Raval

R.D. Raval was an Indian artist. He should be distinguished from an earlier artist, Ravishankar Raval, who painted in a completely different style.

Raval studied at the Sir J. J. School of Art in Bombay, and won awards from a number of institutions, including the Bombay Art Society, Lalit Kala Akademi, and Academy of Fine Arts of Calcutta.
He had a number of exhibitions of his work, mainly in Bombay, New Delhi and Calcutta; he participated in one exhibition in Stamford. He had several exhibitions at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Bombay, an institution that has supported a number of eminent Indian artists.
