The canvas is a symphony of rich, earthy tones and vibrant greens that speak of nature's depth and complexity. Litvinov's skillful use of light and shadow not only highlights Diana's form but also casts a luminous glow on the surrounding foliage, creating a sense of sacred space where the divine intersects with the natural world.
