Depicted looking strained (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawn
I believe this is a double definition.
'depicted' is the first definition.
('draw' can be a synonym of 'depict')
'looking strained' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for drawn that I've seen before include "Attracted - depicted" , "Sketched or tied" , "stressed" , "showing signs of strain" , "Closed" .)
