Candle Mold

Edith Magnette

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of architectural elements. The central focus is detailed studies of a column structure, including fluted columns on a square base within a structural framework. There are three smaller sections depicting square, grid-like patterns and smaller versions of the columns. These sections showcase patterns of circles and depressed areas. The composition has a technical and precise quality, often found in architectural blueprints or studies.
