French painter Edgar (5)
I believe the answer is:
degas
'french painter edgar' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for degas that I've seen before include "Edgar --, French painter and sculptor" , "Edgar -, c. Nineteen-twenty Fr. painter" , "He produced works of art" , "French artist known for his ballet scenes, d. 1917" , "Edgar -, Fr. sculptor/ painter" .)
