Label left on French water in this scene (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tableau

'this scene' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'label left on french water' is the wordplay.
'label' becomes 'tab' (I've seen this before).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'french water' becomes 'eau' ('water' in French).
'tab'+'l'+'eau'='TABLEAU'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tableau that I've seen before include "Dramatic setting" , "picture that's striking" , "Pageant" , "A scene with silent motionless group of people" , "Motionless figures representing a scene" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
