Mag men het zien?
Amsterdam, Nederland
De eigenaar is bekend. Of het vandaag te zien is, zegt het museum niet, en gissen hebben wij niet geleerd.
Twisted candelabra incorporating figures were extremely popular during the rococo period. The famous Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier produced a number of designs for them. Here the artist has concentrated on the positioning of the figures: Father Time, a woman with a water jug, and a winged woman. Only one candle-branch is shown, but doubtless two were intended.
