Candlestick

Benjamin Resnick

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a mechanical jointed object composed of elongated oval and circular segments connected in a manner resembling adjustable wooden calipers or a measuring tool. The color palette includes earthy tones with shades of brown for the wooden parts and hints of metallic gray at the joints, as well as a yellow component attached to the left side. The object is centrally positioned with one end pointing upwards and the other extending to the right. The background is off-white and includes a rectangular boundary around the composition.
