Striking reminder of a Lowry figure (10)
I believe the answer is:
matchstick
'striking reminder' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a lowry figure' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'figure' could be 'c' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'c' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matchstick that I've seen before include "(Of a figure) drawn using thin straight lines" , "Wooden part of lighter" , "Long thin piece" , "Childishly pictured man" , "Individual that's struck" .)
