Candle Lantern

Clyde L. Cheney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large metallic lantern with a conical top and a cylindrical body. It has a lattice pattern that allows light to pass through. The lantern is a muted metallic color with a patina. The lantern is in the center, and its open door shows small candleholders inside. The door is slightly ajar, revealing the intricate design. A smaller drawing of the lantern is in the top left corner of the image.
