Candlestick c. 1940

"Candlestick" is an anonymous watercolor painting from c. 1940 depicting a simple, clear glass candlestick. The candlestick features a cylindrical body with a flared lip, a rounded base, and a series of evenly spaced, bulbous protrusions along the central column. The artist rendered the piece in a detailed, realistic style, emphasizing the delicate texture of the glass and the play of light through its transparent surface. The piece is a study in form and light, capturing the beauty of a simple everyday object through the artist's careful observation.
