General notes

Wooden easel, Unknown manufacturer, 20th century.

Possibly purchased by Flora Scales in France. It may have folded down to fit into the artist's suitcase for travelling.

Easel as it is does not have the base bar to hold a canvas as seen in photographs of the artist in 1982 [see Related images].
