John Dana's "Candlestick," created around 1937, is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing of a emerald green candlestick. The piece's simple composition and elegant lines, rendered in the artist's precise style, highlight the beauty of the object and its potential use. The artwork's dimensions are 29 x 22.7 cm, making it a relatively intimate yet captivating study of a common household item.
