Ontwerp voor een vijfarmige kandelaber gedecoreerd met adelaar 1738 - 1749

This intricate design for a five-armed candelabra, created by French artist Gabriel Huquier between 1738 and 1749, showcases the elegance of Rococo style. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a candelabra with a central support that resembles a stylized tree branch, adorned with an angel and intricately sculpted foliage. The design exemplifies the Rococo era’s penchant for asymmetrical curves and playful ornamentation, with the overall composition capturing the era’s fascination with nature and delicate beauty.
