Nice import! I created Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Collection/Victoria Memorial. Things you could do to improve it:

• Also include the retrieved date in the reference
• Add a description in the form "painting by <name>". This will also trigger my bots to try to find the creator
• Add described at URL (P973) to all the paintings

I hope you will be importing more collections from http://museumsofindia.gov.in/repository/home . I see you already expanded Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Location/India! If you need any help or advice, just let me know.

Thanks for the collection page.

Regarding described at URL (P973), I wanted to avoid duplication as I am waiting for this external identifier to be approved. This will provide the same url. Anyway, I will add them.

Regarding description, I will add them some time later, as it requires some more cleanup in the data sheet.

You don't have to worry about duplication. Once the new property gets created, we just add another line to Property talk:P973 and a bot replace the described at URL (P973) with the new property.

Ok, makes sense. I have added the described at URL (P973) for all the items already added.

I expanded Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Location/India a bit. Any idea why the table contained different number of paintings than actually returned by the site?

Actually, they are adding more and more contents. Thats why the numbers are different. Anyway, not all are paintings, some are engravings or lithographs that were also categorized as painting in the website.

Ah, I see, one big happy pile....
