Visual Description
Seven ornate cups float against a watercolor sky, each cup patterned with black circles and containing a different vision: a curling cloud of smoke, the bust of a woman draped in red, a pair of wings, a tall stack of gold coins with a string of beads, a small island castle, a white crowned figure with outstretched arms, and a coiled serpent. The cups hover on separate clouds at varying heights, giving a dreamlike, suspended quality to the scene. At the bottom edge the title 'Seven of Cups' is printed. The palette is soft greens and blues with warm ochres in the objects, and the composition emphasizes illusion and variety rather than grounded reality.
