Candlestick

Philip Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a golden candlestick with a square base as the largest object, positioned centrally within a detailed sketch on a plain background. In the upper left corner, there is a smaller black and white technical drawing of the candlestick alongside a top-down view sketch, providing measurements. The candlestick occupies the right section of the image, standing prominently with its ornate design.
