Candelabra c. 1940

Richard Taylor's "Candelabra" (c. 1940) is a detailed watercolor design for a wooden candelabra with four arms and a decorative base. The artist, known for his architectural drawings, captures the intricate details of the object with precision and realism. The drawing's warm tones and careful shading give the impression of light reflecting off the polished wood, suggesting the finished product. Taylor's work often focused on functional objects, demonstrating his appreciation for craftsmanship and design. This piece showcases his ability to translate three-dimensional form onto a two-dimensional surface.
