National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a chandelier design. The image shows a pencil sketch of a chandelier, focusing on its structural design. In the drawing, three chains converge at a single hook at the top for hanging. These chains support a horizontal bar with five downward-facing glass shades or bulbs attached. The design is symmetrical, with evenly spaced elements. Below the chandelier, there is a circular diagram resembling a wheel with spokes, possibly depicting the layout or arrangement of the chandelier arms and light fixtures. The drawing features fine lines and precise geometric forms, offering insight into the architectural concept of the chandelier.
