Pewter Fluid Lamp c. 1936

Francis Law Durand's "Pewter Fluid Lamp" (c. 1936) is a detailed graphite drawing of a pewter lamp. The drawing depicts the lamp in a central position on the page, with smaller drawings of the lamp's handle and wick in the lower left and lower right corners of the page. The artist uses shading to create a sense of depth and volume, making the pewter appear realistic. This design drawing showcases Durand's interest in industrial design and his skill in representational art.
