Candlestick c. 1938

Charles Caseau's "Candlestick" is a meticulously rendered watercolor painting, created around 1938, depicting a single candlestick against a muted background. Caseau, a prolific artist who lived a long life (1880-1995), highlights the intricate details of the candlestick's design, with a focus on light and shadow. The artist's realistic depiction emphasizes the smooth curves and elegant form of the glass object, showcasing its translucent quality through the use of cool, blue hues. The simple composition, with the candlestick centered against a neutral backdrop, draws attention to its beauty and craftsmanship.
