"Lantaarn" (1856-1897) is a detailed etching by Dutch artist Henri-Charles Guérard (1846-1897). The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts a simple lantern in a straightforward manner. The work showcases Guérard’s technical skill in etching, with intricate detail visible in the lantern's metalwork. The stark simplicity of the composition and the artist's focus on texture and detail make "Lantaarn" a compelling example of Realism and fine printmaking in 19th-century Dutch art.
