Artist recalled artist's work hanging on wall (5)
I believe the answer is:
arras
'work hanging on wall' is the definition.
'arras' can be an answer for 'work' (I have seen 'Work of art' mean 'arras' so perhaps 'work' could also mean 'arras'). I'm unsure of the 'hanging on wall' bit.
'artist recalled artist's' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'artist's' becomes 'RA's' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ra' written backwards gives 'ar'.
'ar'+'ras'='ARRAS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arras that I've seen before include "Tapestry wall hanging" , "Tapestry; WW One battle" , "Polonius met his end behind one" , "Tapestry; French town" , "Wall hanging of heavy woven fabric" .)
