Candlestick

Charles Caseau

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a tall pedestal with a unique top. The subject of the sculpture is a column that is topped with a decorative element resembling stylized flower petals or rounded forms. The column itself is fluted. The color of the sculpture is a light beige. The sculpture stands alone on a flat base, in proportion to the column. The overall appearance of the sculpture gives it a dignified and stately look, reminiscent of traditional architectural columns with a decorative flourish at the top.
