Table Lamp

Irving L. Biehn

National Gallery of Art

The image features an antiquated oil lamp with a glass central component, a brass base, and a metallic top. The colors mainly include soft earthy tones such as browns, brass, and translucent glass, against a neutral beige background. The lamp is positioned centrally, displaying the base at the bottom, the glass section in the middle, and the metal burner top at the highest point, with the artist's signature subtly visible towards the lower right corner.
