Garden Lamp

Florence Huston

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large ornate lantern with a spherical glass body, decorated with intricate vine and leaf patterns. A broad horizontal band encircles the sphere, featuring a flower design at its center. Above the sphere is a layered structure resembling scalloped awnings, and the base of the lantern is simpler and cylindrical. The color palette is primarily grayscale. The lantern is positioned centrally, with a small square detail showing an enlargement of the vine pattern located at the bottom right corner of the image.
