Candlestick c. 1936

"Candlestick" is a watercolor painting by Arthur Wegg, created around 1936. The artwork depicts a silver candlestick with a red candle, executed in a highly detailed and realistic manner. The flowing, organic lines of the candlestick base are reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wegg's keen eye for detail is evident in the meticulously rendered textures of the candle, candlestick, and even the background paper. The work's subject matter and style suggest a focus on decorative arts and design, reflecting a broader interest in the aesthetics of everyday objects during this period.
