Rush and Candle Stand c. 1939

"Rush and Candle Stand" is a pen and ink drawing by Irene Lawson, created around 1939. The drawing depicts a simple, yet elegant, candle stand crafted from rush. The stand features a tripod base with three slender legs, each ending in a delicate hook. The central upright is adorned with a simple candle holder, suggesting a utilitarian and perhaps historical object. Lawson's attention to detail and precise lines create a sense of realism and sophistication within the drawing. This artwork stands as a testament to Lawson's mastery of line work and her fascination with the beauty found in everyday objects.
