thick, substantial candles

A Dutch still life-inspired scene, transformed into a pagan shrine with an extraordinary number of candles, including a mix of thick, substantial candles and delicate tea lights. These candles are arranged in a non-traditional setting, avoiding a candelabra, and instead scattered around a shrine-like arrangement. The scene also features a silver pitcher, an assortment of oranges, and vibrant orchids adding a touch of natural beauty. A hand with spindly fingers is subtly included, holding an orange, against the simple, slightly textured wall background.
