Tin Candle Sconce

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a metallic candle holder with a tall, vertical backplate adorned with star-shaped patterns and a small platform at the base for holding a candle. The color palette includes subdued tones of grey and metallic silver, with subtle shading to indicate texture and dimension. The candle holder is centrally positioned against a neutral, cream-colored background, with the base near the bottom edge and the elongated back rising towards the upper edge of the image.
