Dispassionate representation of Monteverdi's aunt (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undemonstrative

'dispassionate' is the definition.
(I know that undemonstrative is a more specific form of the attribute dispassionate)

'representation of monteverdi's aunt' is the wordplay.
'representation of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'monteverdis'+'aunt'='monteverdisaunt'
'monteverdisaunt' is an anagram of 'UNDEMONSTRATIVE'.

(Another definition for undemonstrative that I've seen is " Cold".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
