This 18th-century design for a plumed oil lamp is a delicate drawing in graphite on paper. The anonymous artist meticulously rendered the detailed form of the lamp with a feather-like plume on top, a round base, and intricate decorative elements throughout. The artwork exemplifies the Rococo style, which emphasized ornamentation and decorative details. The "Design for a Plumed Oil Lamp" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
