The correct answer is 'the'

Key Points

  • In the above sentence, the noun "artist" is given which starts with a vowel sound.
  • So we can use either article an or article the.
  • But the noun artiste is defined by 'who painted this portrait.' Thus a definite article (The) should be used.
  • So article the is the appropriate answer.

Thus the correct sentence is: Do you know the name of the artist who painted this portrait?

  • Let's learn a trick to use the definite article the:
    • When a noun is followed by the relative pronoun 'who.' Always use 'the' article before that noun.
      • Example: I know the man who visited you yesterday.
