Canvas support? (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

'canvas support' 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 "Support for artist's canvas" , "Artist's supporting frame" , "Tripod for an artist" , "Painting support" , "Artistic tripod" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Guardian, the Universal and The Times.
