No portrait of elaborate lap dances (9)
I believe the answer is:
landscape
'no portrait' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'elaborate lap dances' is the wordplay.
'elaborate' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'lap'+'dances'='lapdances'
'lapdances' anagrammed gives 'LANDSCAPE'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landscape that I've seen before include "Outdoor painting" , "The visible features of an area" , "variety of shot" , "Countryside for a painter" , "Possible prospect" .)
