The Candelabrum, by an unknown artist, depicts a black and white photo of a standing candelabra. The candelabra features a figure of a woman with wings on the bottom half. The woman stands on a ball on top of a pedestal. She has her arms raised and supports the candelabra with her hands. The candelabra has three arms with holders for candles. The woman has a cloth wrapped around her waist. The background of the image is plain white. The candelabra appears to be made of metal. The pedestal supporting the woman is a square base with a cylindrical body.
