Oil Lamp

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large, metal sculpture resembling a tripod with a pointed object hanging from its side. It is set against a light, neutral background. The sculpture is in dark tones, giving it a metallic and aged appearance. Positioned centrally, it stands vertically with three curved legs at the base supporting a cylindrical top with an extended arm holding a pointed element. The light background emphasizes the texture and form of the sculpture.
