Artist raised prudent daughter (5)
I believe the answer is:
degas
'artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'raised prudent daughter' is the wordplay.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'prudent' becomes 'sage' (both can mean wise).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'sage'+'d'='saged'
'saged' reversed gives 'DEGAS'.
(Other definitions for degas that I've seen before include "He produced works of art" , "French impressionist painter, d. 1917" , "French artist known for his ballet scenes, d.1917" , "Edgar -, Fr. sculptor/ painter" , "Edgar ---, ballet-dancer painter" .)
