"Hanging Lantern" is an anonymous watercolor painting of a Chinese lantern, likely created between 1800 and 1900. The intricate, multi-paneled lantern hangs from a single cord, its wooden frame adorned with colorful floral designs and geometric patterns. The lantern's design includes tassels and bells, adding to its visual appeal. This piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
