Worm's-eye view from the ground looking up at a single lantern glowing with an internal light source, painted in a smudge style where the light bleeds outwards in soft, hazy circles of orange and yellow. The lantern hangs from a wooden post, casting a blurred, diffuse light on the nearby objects, specifically a smear of gold pigment around the bulb and soft-edged shadows that fade into the background. A glowing, blurred reflection sits on a nearby surface below. The composition places a large empty area of the paper around this small main figure, emphasizing the isolation of the light source. The scene is illuminated by blue moonlight from the upper right, which contrasts with the warm glow of the lantern. The artwork is executed as an etching with fine cross-hatched lines in black ink, where the ink lines are thick and dark in the shadows and sparse in the highlights, creating a textured, grainy surface that mimics the look of traditional printmaking on rough paper.
