Crossword Genius

Illustrate in rude pictures (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depict

'illustrate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in rude pictures' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'DEPICT' is hidden within 'rude pictures'.

(Other definitions for depict that I've seen before include "Show[S]" , "Show, illustrate" , "Paint" , "'Show, portray (6)'" , "Delineate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
