Three Strapwork Pendants, The Lower Ones Triangular and Oval is a 1584 ink by Daniel Mignot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows three ornate chandeliers drawn in black ink. The top one is round with swirling patterns, while the other two are shaped like triangles and circles. Each has dangling lights and fancy scrollwork. These designs were likely used as blueprints for real metal chandeliers. The artist used fine lines to show details like chains and candle holders.
