Candle Chandelier

Columbus Simpson

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a drawing of a hanging lantern with a transparent glass shade, suspended by a chain from a ceiling canopy. The color palette includes copper hues for the chain and canopy, light blue-gray for the glass, and darker brown for the decorative elements. The lantern is centrally positioned, with the chain connecting to the top center, the glass body tapering downward, and ending with intricate metalwork at the bottom enclosing a candle.
