A revolver found in the art gallery (6)
I believe the answer is:
turner
'a revolver' is the definition.
(something which turns or revolves)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turner that I've seen before include "Lathe worker; a water-colourist" , "Prize < for artist" , "JMW ------, English artist renowned for his land- and sea-scapes" , "revolutionary type?" , "British landscape painter - US rock singer, Tina" .)
