When your tears have filled the cup, the only thing left to do is drink until it is empty.
Visual Description
A long-haired woman kneels with her back to the viewer, leaning over a low stone plinth where three golden cups lie overturned and one has spilled; two other cups remain upright behind the plinth. She clasps the edge of the stone with both hands, her clothes detailed with laces, stockings and a purple sleeve. In the dusk-lit background a shadowy figure walks away beneath bare tree branches while ivy and fallen leaves scatter at the woman's knees. At the top of the card is a small chalice glyph and the bottom shows the numeral 5.
