Visual Description

Visible text on the card: "9", a small sword icon, "SWORDS" at the top and "ÉPÉES", "ESPADAS", "SCHWERTER", "SPADE" at the bottom. In the central image three nearly naked men are depicted in a rocky, mountainous landscape: one man in the foreground is crawling on his hands with a pained expression, another lies behind him on the ground looking upward, and a third man walks away toward the hills with his back turned. Several small stones or missiles are shown in midair between the walking figure and the two fallen men. The scene is framed by a decorative golden border and the palette uses pale earth tones and muted purples for distant mountains.
