Leprechaun in an Enchanted Library Oil Painting

An oil painting on canvas of a diminutive leprechaun in a magical library. The leprechaun wears a verdant green frock coat, a buckled hat, and tiny polished boots, his silver-streaked beard catching golden light. He stands beside a carved oak lectern, a warm amber lantern in one hand casting rich chiaroscuro shadows. Surrounding him are towering, twisting bookshelves packed with ancient tomes, glowing runes, and scrolls that float and orbit like planets. The air shimmers with dust motes and a soft emerald glow from enchanted volumes. A spiral staircase winds around the shelves, a window reveals a starry night and distant hills. The scene uses thick oil brushwork, impasto textures, and a palette of deep greens, golds, and mahogany browns to evoke a timeless, whimsical mood, with Rembrandt-inspired lighting and touches of magical sparkle.
