Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a woman standing, centrally positioned against a warm golden-orange background. She has pale skin, light brown hair, and clasped hands, looking upwards. She wears a long pink dress and a flowing blue cloak that drapes around her. Her bare feet rest on a white crescent moon. Below the moon, four cherub heads emerge from dark, swirling clouds, looking up. Two larger angels with white wings flank the central figure, also looking upwards. The angel on the left wears light purple and white garments, while the angel on the right wears blue and green. Above and to the sides of the central woman, numerous cherub heads are visible within lighter, golden clouds, forming an oval shape around her upper body. A ring of twelve small, white stars hovers above her head. The bottom of the painting features darker, greyish-blue clouds.
