Lamp c. 1938

"Lamp" is a detailed pencil drawing by American artist Charles Caseau, created circa 1938. Caseau, who lived a remarkably long life from 1880 to 1995, is known for his meticulous renderings of still life objects. This particular drawing showcases his ability to capture the nuances of light and form, rendering a simple oil lamp in exquisite detail. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the glass object to life, giving the viewer a sense of its weight and texture. The drawing's restrained composition and minimalist aesthetic are characteristic of Caseau's work.
