Cut Tin Candleholder

Hal Blakeley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract composition with circular and linear shapes. In the center is a large, intricately patterned circle with concentric rings, zigzag, and radiating lines. Around it are six identical abstract forms resembling birds or wings, radiating outward. The shapes create a symmetrical pattern reminiscent of a rotating wheel or a sunburst.
