Tasteful feature of Goya’s pictures (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tasteful feature' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'of goya's pictures' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ASPIC' is hidden in the letters of 'goyas pictures'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Savoury jelly for meat or vegetable" , "Stock set with food" , "Ending of Marlowe's thriller" , "Clear meat or fish jelly" , "garnish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
