Interesting.  The smokers could be Indian, but Laurie Knight has pointed out 
that when you click on the image in the link I gave, it takes you to:

Note the end of the URL, I assume NY means New York.  Perhaps the advertising 
agency is Indian and the painting is in NY.  The artist certainly has an Indian 
name, but the funeral scene does not look very Indian.
