"Pennsylvania Fat Lamp" is a realistic drawing by American artist Helen Hobart (1855-1995) created around 1941. The artwork depicts a traditional Pennsylvania fat lamp, a type of oil lamp used in the region. The lamp, depicted in meticulous detail, stands on a three-legged base with a cylindrical shade. This drawing is a testament to Hobart's skill in capturing the textures and forms of everyday objects, highlighting the artistry of traditional crafts.
