Shrewd showing sculpted statue (6)
I believe the answer is:
astute
'shrewd' is the definition.
('astute' can be a synonym of 'shrewd')
'sculpted statue' is the wordplay.
'sculpted' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'statue' anagrammed gives 'ASTUTE'.
'showing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "Able to make accurate assessments" , "Sharp-witted" , "Canny and sagacious" , "Sharp, shrewd" , "Discerning" .)
