"The Fifer” artist (5)
I believe the answer is:
manet
'the fifer artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for manet that I've seen before include "Edouard -- (artist)" , "French painter" , "Edouard ---, pre-impressionist" , "Painter of Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, d. 1883" , "artistic individual" .)
