Burp Parisian artist (5)
I believe the answer is:
degas
'artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for degas that I've seen before include "Edgar -, French impressionist" , "Edgar ---, ballet-dancer painter" , "Edgar -, c. Nineteen-twenty Fr. painter" , "French painter of ballet girls etc" , "Edgar -, Fr. sculptor/ painter" .)
