Supporter of artist's work? (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

'supporter of artist's work?' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Tripod for an artist" , "Artist's supporting frame" , "Support for artist's canvas" , "Frame for a canvas" , "The rest of artists" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
