Visual Description
A large silver chalice hovers above a deep blue sea, supported by a delicate stand while four graceful streams of water arc from its rim into the water below. Two white doves hover at either side of the cup, poised as if to sip from the surface. Ripples and a softened reflection of the bowl shimmer on the sea beneath, and the surrounding light is pale and serene. The printed title "ACE OF CUPS" appears along the bottom edge of the image.
