Design for a Candelabra 1765 - 1795

This anonymous 18th-century drawing, "Design for a Candelabra," depicts a candelabra supported by two figures. The design is characterized by a sense of classical elegance, with the figures draped in flowing robes and the candelabra itself adorned with intricate ornamentation. The drawing was likely created for a wealthy patron, and its detail and sophistication reflect the high standards of design during the Rococo period. The drawing is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
