Image of a lad on front of Attitude (7)
I believe the answer is:
persona
'image' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a lad on front of attitude' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day').
'lad' becomes 'son' (lad can informally mean a young boy).
'on front of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'attitude' is 'a'.
'per'+'son'+'a'='PERSONA'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for persona that I've seen before include "Public image" , "Theatrical role" , "No pears (anag.)" , "Assumed identity" , "character on the stage?" .)
