Create a picture of about here (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

represent

'create a picture of' is the definition.

'about here' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to').
'here' becomes 'present' ('present' can be similar in meaning to 'here').
're'+'present'='REPRESENT'

(Other definitions for represent that I've seen before include "Serve as a symbol for" , "show" , "Picture" , "Illustrate" , "Explain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
