Ship's Lantern

Arthur Ringold

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a vintage metallic lantern with a rounded, hinged top and a grid-like pattern on the glass front. The color palette is muted with shades of gray and brown. The lantern is positioned centrally in the image, with a shadow suggesting elevation. The handle is visible on the top, and subtle reflections can be seen on the glass panes of the lantern.
