Candlestick c. 1936

John Dana's "Candlestick" from c. 1936 is a detailed pencil drawing of a glass candlestick. The work depicts a classic design with a wide base, a central column, and a flared top meant to hold a candle. The intricate details of the base, with its decorative pattern of leaves and scallops, suggest a focus on craftsmanship and the beauty of everyday objects. Dana's work often focused on still lifes and domestic objects, providing a glimpse into the aesthetics of the early 20th century.
