Betty Lamp

Julius Bellamy

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a metal object resembling an old-fashioned oil lamp, with an extended upright hook attached to its central spout. It is supported by three short legs. The color palette is primarily composed of grayscale tones. Positioned centrally against a plain beige background, the lamp's curved structure draws the eye from the base up to the top hook.
