Visual Description
A young woman stands with her eyes closed, one hand resting near the mane of a large, calm lion at her side. She wears a white blouse, a short vest and plaid knee-length trousers, and a ribbon ties back her hair; an infinity symbol floats above her head. The lion's face is relaxed and almost sleepy, its curly mane filling the lower left of the scene. A pale floral wallpaper fills the background and the card title '8 • Strength' is printed at the bottom.
