Study for 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose' is a 1893 oil by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a young girl holding a lantern. The girl has dark hair and wears a white dress. She is looking down at the lantern, which is green with a black top and a white interior. The background is dark green. The lantern is the central focus of the painting. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture. The girl's dress is white, but it appears to be made of a thin material that allows the light from the lantern to shine through. The painting is reminiscent of the work of John Singer Sargent, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
