The Lantern Bearers is a 1908 unspecified by Maxfield Parrish, a Impressionism work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This painting shows a group of people in white costumes, each holding a large yellow lantern. They are standing on steps, with trees and leaves behind them. The sky is blue. The people are dressed in similar outfits, with hats and long sleeves. They seem to be in a festive or celebratory mood, as they hold their lanterns up high. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the bright yellow lanterns standing out against the darker background.
