Concise and vivid representation (8)

I believe the answer is:

vignette

(Other definitions for vignette that I've seen before include "little sketch" , "by way of illustration" , "Photographic portrait" , "Character sketch - give tent (anag)" , "Word-picture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
