Visual Description
A woman in a flowing green gown sits on a large shell-shaped throne framed by two carved seahorses, holding a golden chalice in her right hand. Her hair is long and dark, adorned with pearls and a delicate headpiece, and her face is intentionally featureless. Behind her is a calm sea under a starlit sky with a pale moon in the upper right, and gentle sprays of foam and glitter trace the edges of the throne.
