Visual Description
A crowned young man in a decorated military-style jacket holds an ornate chalice aloft in his right hand, eyes gently closed and lips curved in a small, knowing smile. Behind him a large circular stained-glass window or sunburst throws pale gold and teal rays across the scene while stylized waves and clouds move below. The palette is dominated by sea-green, blue and gold tones, and a delicate crown sits on his green-tinted hair. Decorative borders frame the image and a ribbon at the bottom reads “King of Cups.”
