Lantern

Samuel W. Ford

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed rendering of a vintage lantern. The lantern is the largest object in the center of the image. The color palette consists of muted browns, grays, rust, brass, and a slight transparent hue for the glass. The lantern is positioned centrally within the frame, slightly above the base, with its base and handles aligned symmetrically in the composition.
