Art student's prop (5)
I believe the answer is:
easel
'art student's prop' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "stand for creativity" , "Wooden frame for an artist" , "Lease it out to the artist" , "Blackboard-frame" , "Lease out the stand" .)
