The image shows a metallic lantern with a cylindrical chimney and a glass-paneled front. The lantern has a handle on the side that curves away from the body. The color palette includes muted brown tones with hints of yellow and gray. The lantern is positioned centrally, slightly angled to the viewer's left. The chimney top and the glass compartment with a smaller inner cylinder are visible. It is set against a simple, off-white background.
