Tin Sconce

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image features a tall, hourglass-shaped structure, split into two symmetrical sections with a circular saw-like pattern in the middle. Below this structure is a smaller object that resembles a candle or pear. The color scheme is mainly grayscale, with a hint of pale yellow in the smaller object. The large hourglass figure occupies much of the vertical space, while the smaller object is centered horizontally at the base. The background is minimal, emphasizing the central figures.
