Candle Stick

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a room with a large candle placed on a tall candlestick located centrally, under a coffered ceiling. The color palette consists mostly of black and white. To the right, there is a bench and a window with a decorative grid pattern, and beyond the window, there is an outdoor landscape with rocks. The room extends towards the rear with a wall featuring horizontal lines, suggesting texture or paneling. The room is compartmentalized, with the candlestick positioned prominently in the foreground, the bench and window to the right, and the background displaying a doorway and textured wall.
