Painter, perhaps, with English entertainer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artiste

'entertainer' is the definition.
(I know that artiste is a type of music interpreter)

'painter perhaps with english' is the wordplay.
'painter perhaps' becomes 'artist' (painter is a kind of artist).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'artist'+'e'='ARTISTE'

(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Performers" , "nightclub entertainer?" , "A sitter for a performer" , "Attires for professional entertainer" , "One entertaining" .)
