easel
Painter's upright support
An easel is a freestanding frame, typically with three legs, used to hold a canvas or board upright while an artist paints.
Easels range from small tabletop versions to large studio models, and some fold flat for portability.
The word extends to any similar stand used to display artwork, posters, or presentation boards.
