Visual Description
A bordered central vignette shows a dishevelled man wiping sweat from his brow with his forearm, his eyes shaded and mouth slightly open as drops of perspiration run down his face. He wears a yellow cap and a purple shirt, and a dark shadowed area frames the top right of the scene. Surrounding the picture are eight swords—four above and four below—with golden hilts set against a grey border. Along the left edge vertically are multilingual labels and the number 8 identifying the card and suit.
