Candlestick

Milton Grubstein

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a single ornate candlestick at the center of a rectangular frame on a beige background. The candlestick has a sculptural form with a broad base, a tapering stem, and a holder at the top. The monochrome color palette features various shades of grey to depict the contours and reflective surfaces of the candlestick. In the bottom left corner, there is a smaller inset drawing of the candlestick with measurements noted. The drawings are on aged-looking paper, giving an antique or architectural sketch feel.
