This 19th-century pen-and-ink drawing by an anonymous artist depicts a design for a chandelier. The intricate details and the use of line to create a sense of depth and dimension are characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This drawing is an example of the decorative arts, and it highlights the importance of design in the creation of beautiful and functional objects. The design's elegance and symmetry, as well as its intricate details, suggest that it was intended for a luxurious setting. The drawing's current home is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
