Painter seen in Birmingham one time (5)
I believe the answer is:
monet
'painter' is the definition.
(artist Claude Monet)
'in birmingham one time' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'MONET' is hidden within 'birmingham one time'.
'seen' is the link.
(Other definitions for monet that I've seen before include "French landscape painter" , "Claude --, French impressionist painter" , "he painted Rouen Cathedral" , "Giverny painter" , "'Water Lilies' 13ac" .)
