'french painter indicated' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'easel colour and tutu possibly' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'easel'+'colour'+'tutu'='easelcolourtutu'
'easelcolourtutu' is an anagram of 'TOULOUSE-LAUTREC'.

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for toulouse-lautrec that I've seen is " French painter, d. 1901".)
