I believe the answer is:

therapeutic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offering restoration' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'article on treatment of a picture' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'treatment of' indicates anagramming the letters (letters treated or processed).
'a'+'picture'='apicture'
'apicture' anagrammed gives 'rapeutic'.
'the'+'rapeutic'='THERAPEUTIC'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for therapeutic that I've seen before include "Contributing to good health" , "Sanative" , "Having a healing effect" , "Relating to the healing of disease" , "Curative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
