The image features a single large candle with a burning flame at the center. The melting wax of the candle is intricately detailed, creating fluid motion as it drips downwards. The surrounding area is filled with a starry pattern radiating outward from the flame. The color palette is primarily black and cream, with the candle's flame and wax in lighter tones. Positioned centrally, the candle and flame are the focal point, drawing the viewer's eye towards the vertical axis. Text in Latin is present at the top, while text in Dutch is placed at the bottom.
