Crossword Genius

Bacon, for example, sent back in restaurants I traduced (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artist

'bacon for example' is the definition.
(Francis Bacon)

'sent back in restaurants i traduced' is the wordplay.
'sent back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'tsitra' is hidden in the letters of 'restaurants i traduced'.
'tsitra' reversed gives 'ARTIST'.

(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "Painter in dire strait" , "Expert" , "Creator of aesthetic works" , "eg Monet" , "One skilled in creative works" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
