Majel G. Claflin

The image shows a metal wall sconce with a tall, unlit candle. The sconce has a backplate with a zig-zag patterned design in shades of gray and blue. The candle is warm orange, placed in a holder within the sconce's base. The sconce is centrally located with the base resting on a flat surface. The color palette includes cool grays, blues from the sconce, and the warm tone of the candle against an off-white background.
