Crossword Genius

Face woman and wise man (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visage

'face' is the definition.
(I know that visage is a type of face)

'woman and wise man' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Vi' (short for Violet).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'wise man' becomes 'sage' (sage is a kind of wise man).
'vi'+'sage'='VISAGE'

(Other definitions for visage that I've seen before include "Clock" , "A person's face, countenance" , "Mug" , "Face, aspect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
