Measuring 12.07x11.75 cm, this piece is composed using opaque watercolor and gold on paper, adding a touch of opulence to its intricate details. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene where a celestial being known as a peri gracefully floats through the air, adorned with delicate wings that shimmer like precious jewels.
