easel painting
Studio-made picture
Easel painting refers to artwork created on a portable support—typically canvas stretched on a frame—that rests on an easel during the painting process.
The term distinguishes such works from murals, frescoes, and other paintings applied directly to walls or architectural surfaces.
Easel paintings can be moved, sold, and displayed in various settings, which contributed to the rise of private art collecting and the modern art market.
Most paintings hanging in museums and homes are easel paintings.
