Entertainer serving as a sitter? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artiste

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

'entertainer' is the definition.
(artiste is a kind of entertainer)

'as a sitter?' is the wordplay.
'a sitter' anagrams to 'ARTISTE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'serving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Player" , "Person playing" , "Theatre performer" , "Entertainer, singer or dancer" , "A sitter for a performer" .)
