Any suggestions for 19a please. In the grid for the 19a I have ???er????e and I think the break must be at p/ad. Thanks

What is the clue?

[nescio]

the break is pa/d
think of a word for someone who produces portraits, formed from pa + the first 5 letters of the answer, then it should be straightforward.

It's at pa/d, the answers splits (5,5), and the comma should be removed - hope that helps. Your crossers are correct.
