Alfred Walbeck's "Candlestick" is a detailed watercolor illustration depicting a simple, elegant candlestick with a round base and a single candle holder. The artwork, created around 1937, highlights the meticulous detail of Walbeck's style, evident in the realistic rendering of the metal's texture and subtle color variations. The inclusion of a small, technical drawing of the base in the top left corner adds an intriguing layer to the composition, suggesting the artist's interest in both aesthetic and functional design.
