Sons flee having pinched a work of art (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seascape

'work of art' is the definition.
(seascape is a type of artwork)

'sons flee having pinched a' is the wordplay.
'sons' becomes 's'.
'flee' becomes 'escape' (escaping is a kind of fleeing).
'having pinched' is an insertion indicator.
'escape' placed around 'a' is 'eascape'.
's'+'eascape'='SEASCAPE'

(Other definitions for seascape that I've seen before include "Maritime picture" , "Marine view/picture" , "work of art" , "Painting genre" , "Painting, maybe a Turner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
