David S. De Vault

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a single oil lamp with an elongated spout and a rounded body, including an upward-curving handle. The color palette is primarily composed of muted browns and grays. Positioned centrally on a plain, off-white background, the lamp draws attention to its simple, utilitarian design. The artist's signature, "David S. DeVault," is located in the bottom right corner of the image.
