Candlestick and Shade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two candlesticks with shades. The candlesticks are made of black metal, with a wide base that tapers into a narrow middle section and then flares out slightly at the top. The shades are clear glass, shaped like wine glasses, with a decorative etched band around the top edge. The candles are white and unlit, with a small notch at the top. The candlesticks sit on a flat surface, with a plain background behind them. The image is in black and white. The title of the image is "Candlestick and Shade". The artist is not visible. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the two candlesticks placed side by side.
