A name in painting (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
I believe this is a double definition.
'a name' is the first definition.
'painting' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "are old-fashioned" , "Work such as painting or sculpture" , "Painting, for instance" , "''... is long and life is short''" , "Creative works; knack" .)
