Designs for a Ewer and a Candlestick 1845 - 1855

Alfred Henry Forrester, a British artist known for his illustrations and designs, created these sketches for an ewer and candlestick between 1845 and 1855. The delicate linework and intricate details demonstrate his talent for design, while the placement of the drawings on the page suggests they were intended for a design portfolio. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, these sketches offer a glimpse into the artistic process and the decorative styles of the Victorian era.
