At its heart is a beautiful, pensive young maiden, portrayed in a slim fitting orange gown that accentuates her delicate form. She sits gracefully on the forest floor, her legs elegantly crossed and her forearms wrapped around her knees, creating a sense of serene introspection.

The scene is animated by the wind, which fiercely tousles her long, curly brown hair and diaphanous gray scarf, adding a dynamic contrast to her otherwise tranquil pose. On the left, a cherub is depicted with a protective gesture, securing the maiden's scarf to prevent it from being swept away by the gusts. To her right, another cherub holds a star aloft, adding a touch of celestial magic to the scene.

The lamp’s round brass base is adorned with a finely perforated design, adding texture and depth. At the top, the brass crown is elegantly finished with a scroll border, completing the lamp’s refined and enchanting appearance. less
