Visual Description
A crowned woman stands in profile on a high terrace, wearing a blue gown and red-lined cloak. She holds a long upright sword in her right hand, the blade glowing against a textured sky of clouds and waves. Behind her are angular architectural forms and a low battlement with a row of upright sword-like shapes. Her left hand rests at her side and her expression is composed and intent, with long hair falling behind her.
