This 19th-century anonymous drawing from the Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts a design for a set of candlesticks and a clock, with an ornate, neoclassical style. The drawing shows two identical candlesticks with three arms each, adorned with elaborate foliate and scrolling details. The central design features a seated figure, possibly a mythological or historical character, atop a clock case with a round, blank space for the clock face. The design showcases the artistic trends of the 19th century, emphasizing decorative elements and a return to classical influences in furniture and object design.
