Whale Oil Lamp 1935 - 1942

"Whale Oil Lamp" is a detailed pencil drawing by Joseph Stonefield (1855-1995) from 1935-1942. The artwork depicts a silver whale oil lamp, a common household item in the 19th century, before the widespread use of electricity. Stonefield's meticulous rendering of the lamp's form highlights the craftsmanship of the piece and captures the subtle interplay of light and shadow on its surfaces.
