Lantaarn 1876

"Lantaarn" (1876), an etching by Henri-Charles Guérard (1846-1897), depicts a detailed rendering of a lantern. The intricate design of the lantern, with its openwork panels and decorative top, is captured with precision. Guérard's skillful use of line and shading brings depth and dimensionality to the subject. The lantern's presence is both functional and symbolic, representing a source of light and guidance in a world often shrouded in darkness. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing Guérard's mastery of etching and his keen eye for detail.
