On the icy peak of a mountain, the Hermit sits alone, illuminating the space around him with his lantern. Secluded from the noise and bustle of the world, he dwells in the depths of the Self, in the process of contemplating others.

Visual Description
A solitary robed figure sits curled on a rocky outcrop beneath drooping, icy branches while holding a glowing lantern close to their chest. The person is cloaked in layered, muted green garments and a headwrap, their gaze turned outward but introspective. Pale light from the lantern throws warm highlights against the folds of fabric and the nearby stones, contrasting with the cool, shadowed background and distant mountains. The frame is ornate with gilded floral borders and the Roman numeral IX appears at top and bottom.
