I believe the answer is:

icon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'picture?' is the definition.
(I know that icon is a type of picture)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "portrait" , "object of admiration" , "Devotional image (C, not K)" , "Russian religious image" , "Sacred painting or representitive figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
