Pictor
The Painter`s Easel
Origin of the Constellation
Pictor is another one of the constellations invented by by Abbe Nicholas Louis de Lacaille who mapped the stars of the southern hemisphere from the Cape of Good Hope in the years from 1751 to 1753. The official name is Equuleus Pictoris, the Painter's Easel, but astronomers usually refer to the constellation merely as Pictor.
