He painted the world, corner representing Spain (7)
I believe the answer is:
hogarth
'he painted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the world corner representing spain' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'corner' could be 'hog' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'hog' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hogarth that I've seen before include "He painted" , "Satirical 18th century painter" , "Engraver's" , "William --, English artist and engraver" , "He depicted" .)
