Exhibit Holbeins and new Goyas at the front (4)
I believe the answer is:
hang
'the front' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'exhibit holbeins and new goyas' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'hag' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hang that I've seen before include "Kill with a noose" , "Hover" , "Go to the gallows" , "Suspend, perhaps execute" , "Be suspended" .)
