This is a drawing of a wall-mounted lamp. The drawing depicts a wall sconce with a curvaceous backplate and a centered lamp fixture holding a bulb facing downward. The fixture has an elaborate holder surrounding the bulb. There are two smaller inset drawings at the bottom, one showing a side view of the lamp and another showing a frontal schematic view. The drawing appears to be a technical design blueprint or a detailed conceptual rendering.
