Visual Description
A regal dark-haired woman sits draped in a patterned golden robe, holding an ornate, curved sword upright in one hand while her other hand rests against the head of a large bird of prey behind her. She wears an elaborate jeweled crown and earrings, and bracelets sparkle on her wrist as she gazes with a composed, distant expression. The bird has strong plumage in purples and grays and leans close to her as if in silent companionship. The scene is framed in an oval with a dark background and a banner at the bottom reading 'Queen of Swords.'
