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

'concept' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'an anonymous enigma variation' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral for one).
'anonymous enigma variation' becomes 'mage' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'mage'='IMAGE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for image that I've seen before include "Picture; simile" , "Likeness of person or thing" , "Public persona" , "Copy" , "Likeness or mental picture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
