This 19th-century design for an oil lamp and lid shows a detailed drawing of a porcelain lamp with a blue body and gold accents. It is adorned with a painted scene of three figures in a garden. The lamp is depicted with a clear glass globe and a separate lid with a delicate design. This design, likely intended for a commissioned piece, showcases the intricate artistry of the period. The drawing is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
