Visual Description
A hooded, hunched figure with a wolf‑like head kneels on a rocky shore beside a placid lake, clutching a wooden staff. Two tall, bare trees stand to the right of the figure while a distant line of hills and a mirrored shoreline stretch across the water. The sky is marbled with warm, orange and yellow clouds; the card border shows the large yellow Roman numeral 'IX' and multilingual titles including 'THE HERMIT', 'DER EREMIT', 'L'EREMITE', 'EL EREMITAÑO' and the caption 'L'EREMITA'.
