Visual Description
A lone woman in a pale green dress stands in a small wooden boat, facing away from the viewer and pushing an oar through orange-red water. Six swords lie in the boat beside her, their hilts visible above the gunwale. Water lilies and lily pads float on the glowing surface, and dark mountains rise against a deepening sky with a low sun and a few birds in flight. The title "SIX OF SWORDS" is printed on a ribbon at the bottom of the card.
