- Note
- A maulstick or mahlstick /ˈmɔːlstɪk/ MAWL-stik is a stick with a soft leather or padded head used by painters to support the working hand with a paintbrush or pen. The word derives from the German and Dutch Malstock or maalstok ´painter´s stick´, from malen ´to paint´.
In 16th- through 19th-century paintings of artists, including self-portraits, the maulstick is often depicted as part of the painter´s equipment.
