Kandelaar met guirlandes 1772 - 1779

"Kandelaar met guirlandes" is a detailed, black and white engraving by French artist Jean Pelletier, depicting a design for a candlestick. Created between 1772 and 1779, the artwork showcases the elegant, neoclassical style prevalent in the late 18th century. The candlestick's slender form is adorned with delicate, stylized floral motifs and a simple, graceful base. This detailed design is a testament to Pelletier's talent and a glimpse into the artistry of the era. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an important example of design for the decorative arts during the Rococo period.
