Painter inspired by place of worship, making master free slave (9)
I believe the answer is:
odalisque
'slave' is the definition.
(I know that odalisque is a type of slave)
'painter inspired by place of worship making master free' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'painter' could be 'dali' (Salvador Dali) and 'dali' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odalisque that I've seen before include "Female slave" , "Harem slave" , "Concubine" .)
