easel

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

'support for an artist's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "The rest of artists" , "dead-headed plant" , "Artist's equipment" , "Stand in a studio" , "Tripod for an artist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
