Visual Description
A content figure with white hair sits centered on a carved, watery throne with eyes closed and arms slightly outstretched. Nine ornate golden cups are arranged around and above the sitter, some set on the ledge and others appearing to float. Water-like drips and flowing lines run down the rocks behind and beneath the figure, pooling at the base. The background is a star-speckled night sky with swirling decorative clouds, and a banner at the bottom reads "Nine of Cups."
