National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a chandelier design. The central focus is an ornate chandelier composed of curls, scrolls, and decorative elements. Hanging from the chandelier are pendants resembling eggs. Above, a ribbon supports the chandelier with tails flanking the composition. At the bottom corners, two mythical creatures, resembling stylized dragons or griffins, add a fantastical touch, with spread wings engaged in a dance.
