The picture contains story (4)
I believe the answer is:
epic
'story' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Heroic story' mean 'epic' so perhaps 'story' could also mean 'epic')
'the picture contains' is the wordplay.
'contains' indicates a hidden word.
'EPIC' is hidden in the letters of 'the picture'.
(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "Tale of heroic deeds" , "Long, heroic story" , "Guardian (body, beast)" , "great film" , "Surpassing the ordinary" .)
