<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">painter's tripod</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Lease it out to the artist" , "Display tripod" , "Artist's equipment" , "Artist's supporting frame" , "stand for creativity" .)
