This clue might be a double definition.

'artist's idea' is the first definition.
'model' can be an answer for 'idea' (model is a kind of idea). I am unsure of the 'artist's' bit.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for model that I've seen before include "She exhibits clothes on the catwalk" , "Example to follow" , "Scale replica" , "who displays it" , "Small-size version" .)
