An eighteenth-century drop chandelier hangs, lit, from the room’s ceiling, connected to an outlet placed in the centre of a white monochrome hung on the wall. A wall lamp in the upper right of the monochrome illuminates the plaster painting, in an iron frame open at the sides like other works exhibited at the ‘Interno/Esterno’ exhibition-installation (cat. 3760), of which Quadro – Lampadario was part.
