This full tilt easel designed by a portrait painter is constructed of hand rubbed oak. The Manhattan's top carriage has a self braking clutch that allows the painter to tilt work forward, backward, or vertical. Plus, the Manhattan features a double fold-out painting tray with a melamine paint-mixing surface and two large stainless steel canisters for solvents.
