Did he make ten line drawings of Alice? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenniel

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

'alice?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'did he make ten line drawings' is the wordplay.
'ten line' anagrams to 'TENNIEL'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tenniel that I've seen before include "'Alice In Wonderland' illustrator" , "Lewis Carroll's illustrator" , "19th-century illustrator" , "Sir John --, Victorian illustrator (Alice)" , "First illustrator of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'" .)
