Vintage Candle and Snake Illustration - Symbolic Line Art Drawing #219829 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn illustration features a tall, melting candle with a steady flame, seated in a tiered, ornamental candlestick. A serpentine figure winds gracefully around the base, its head near the stem, suggesting mythological or alchemical symbolism. The linework is expressive, with cross-hatching for texture and dynamic drips emphasizing the candle’s ephemeral nature.
