Design for a Lamp 19th century

This 19th-century anonymous drawing depicts a design for a lamp. The lamp takes the shape of a large seashell held aloft by a sculpted figure, possibly a nymph, adorned with a crown and leafy drapery. The figure stands on an elaborate base, suggesting the intricate craftsmanship of this proposed design. The drawing's simple composition and focus on the lamp's design make it a valuable example of decorative arts from the 19th century.
