Candlestick

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of a single candlestick with a long, ornate stem and round base dominating the composition. The candlestick is depicted in a golden-brown color palette with subtle shades of green and yellow. Positioned in the center of a faint rectangle on the paper, the candlestick is flanked by a smaller drawing and notes near the bottom center, as well as text signatures in the lower left corner of the rectangle. The background is cream-colored.
