Lamp c. 1936

"Lamp" is a pencil drawing created by American artist Eugene Barrell, dating back to 1936. The artwork portrays a detailed, realistic depiction of a vintage candlestick, with the artist's signature "Eugene Barrell" visible in the bottom right corner. The precise shading, especially on the metal of the lamp, demonstrates Barrell's masterful use of pencil techniques and the intricate details contribute to the artwork's realistic aesthetic, placing it within the genre of still life. This piece is a testament to Barrell's commitment to representational art and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow.
