Candlestick

Lawrence Porth

National Gallery of Art

A single, elongated, cylindrical object resembling a candlestick is standing upright on a flat, turquoise surface with a shadow beneath it. The candlestick features a marbled pattern with shades of brown, red, and cream. Positioned centrally on the surface, the object appears to cast a reflection immediately below, with the turquoise surface occupying the bottom section of the image and extending horizontally across the frame.
