This is a painting of a lamp with a white ceramic body and a decorated glass container at the top. The body has a swirling design resembling three sea creatures or tentacles, accented with traces of gold. The three swirls rest atop a white base with gold lines running around the center. Above these swirls is a thin brown section connecting to the glass container on the top. Areas of the glass have been painted in white with golden swirl designs, leaving the glass visible in three rows of circles and ovals. The lamp is positioned centrally against a background of plain, off-white paper.
