Apply more plaster. While still wet use a “tool” to draw the circles in. The “tool” referenced here could be a screwdriver, a wooden skewer, the nonworking end of a toothbrush.... any item that closely matches the diameter of the swirled circles.
Hire an artisan plasterer to do this for you. May be a bit of a hunt as this style has fallen out of favor for the time being. I have a house built in the mid-20's and had a good guy until he retired, and it took a bit to find a true artisan, but it was well worth it. Do not get sticker shock once you find someone.
If you plan to do this yourself, I would suggest lots of practice inside closets or or on a piece of scrap wallboard.
