Visual Description

A winged angel with a red radiant halo hovers above two nude figures—one red-skinned with long hair on the left, one dark-skinned with short hair on the right—standing before a pale mountain and clouded sky. A tree heavy with apples and a coiled serpent stands behind the left figure; a flowering tree sprouts behind the right, and roots or cords connect the pair at their feet. The palette is bold pinks, reds, blacks and whites, and the card border reads 'VI L'AMOVREVX' at the bottom.
