The painting depicts a stylized still life with several objects on a dark background. In the center is a large candle in a yellow and red candlestick with a droplet-shaped flame standing on a golden tray. Around it are three drinking objects: a drinking glass and straw, a small red cup and a red and yellow cup on a saucer. There are also letters in the painting which, together with the objects, form the words 'LUS' and 'LOGH'.

American modernist Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) worked in a shoe factory from early childhood. He had to save up for an artistic education. He studied in New York at the School of Art and the National Academy of Design. Like Andy Warhol, his art was transcendent, a sort of spiritual journey. This is evident for example in the painting Heaven. In 1913, he went to Europe to seek inspiration from leading European modernists. Pablo Picasso or Paul Cézanne abundantly contributed to the formation of Hartley’s painting style. When he arrived in Berlin, another modern painter, Wassily Kandinsky, took him under his wing. Hartley admired Bavarian art until the outbreak of the First World War. It is said that he was very close with the Prussian Lieutenant Karl von Freyburg, who also frequently appeared in Hartley paintings. He then alternately lived in the US and Europe continued to paint throughout the world until 1943, when he died and his ashes were scattered into the Androscoggin River.
