Candlestick c. 1937

Philip Johnson's "Candlestick" is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing created in 1937. The artwork is a precise rendering of a simple, classic candlestick. It features a line drawing of the candlestick's form, a plan view of its base, and a scale to indicate its dimensions. The artist's name is inscribed in the lower right corner. This drawing is a fine example of Johnson's meticulous and realistic style, which he used to capture the beauty of everyday objects.
