Candlestick

Philip Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a brass candlestick with a hexagonal base, depicted in shades of yellow and gold to give a metallic appearance. In the upper left corner, there is a technical drawing and an overhead view of the base with measurement markings. The background is lightly textured like aged paper, adding a neutral contrast. The artist's name, Philip Johnson, is printed at the bottom left of the image.
