"Water Lilies" painter Claude (5)
I believe the answer is:
monet
'water lilies painter claude' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for monet that I've seen before include "Claude, impressionist painter, d. 1926" , "French Impressionist with famous garden" , "French artist shown in ..." , "'Water Lilies' 13ac" , "Claude ---, painter (waterlilies)" .)
