Candlestick

William Kieckhofel

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a wrought iron candlestick with a simple and elegant design featuring scrollwork and a leaf motif. It is showcased against a plain background in a color palette of dark metallic browns and blacks with hints of lighter bronze. The candlestick is positioned centrally on the page, standing upright with symmetrically extending details from the base to the candle holder at the top. The base rests on a flat surface, and the artist's signature is in the lower right corner.
