This is a drawing of a candle sconce with a backplate. The image features a single candle holder attached to a wall sconce with a round, smooth backplate that appears textured. The backplate is oval-shaped with a small hole near the top. The candle holder itself is simple, with a short cylindrical holder above a ruffled, circular drip tray. The drawing has a minimalist and realistic style with attention to the details of the object's surface.
