Fellow in doorway — painting, possibly? (9)
I believe the answer is:
portrayal
'painting possibly?' is the definition.
(painting is a kind of portrayal)
'fellow in doorway' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'ray' (man's name).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'doorway' becomes 'portal' (synonyms).
'ray' put within 'portal' is 'PORTRAYAL'.
(Other definitions for portrayal that I've seen before include "drawing" , "Study" , "Picture or description of royal prat" , "Artistic depiction" , "painting" .)
