Candlestick 1935 - 1942

"Candlestick," a watercolor painting by Mildred Ford (1855-1995), was created between 1935 and 1942. The painting, measuring 26.6 x 33.1 cm, depicts a simple, utilitarian object: a candlestick composed of a shallow bowl, a central stem, and a conical snuffer. The artist's meticulous detail and realistic rendering of the object highlight the beauty found in everyday items. Ford's work often focused on the ordinary, capturing the essence of familiar objects with a keen eye for form and light.
